At September's First Fridays presentation, Todd will use some of his personal astrophotography, along with Digistar animations, to provide a guide to things in space that can be seen with just your eyes, including comets, aurora, eclipses, meteors, falling space junk, and even ‘new’ stars that he’s experienced in 40+ years of observing.
