Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com The Actual Astronomy Podcast Episode 464 presents Observing Lists and Eyepiece Cleaning. In this episode we talk about a few observing lists Chris is working on for the RASC Observer's Handbook and Calendar plus some Wide Field Wonders.  Shane details his cleaning process for eyepieces.   My little counterweight arrived!

A lot of folks wrote about why the 7-inch wasn’t up in the observatory…this is why since it eats up so much room it is difficult to work in there.   A couple notes on the RASC publications I’m involved with.
