Hey, Astrofam - This week I'm asking, as a local North Carolinian for my entire life, if you can help, please consider donating to the relief fund for Hurricane Helene here. Your donation is tax deductible, and 92% of every dollar given to the Red Cross goes DIRECTLY to the impacted victims to help them recover and get the help they so desperately need. Thank you for always being there. 

Welcome BAAAAACK to THE ASTROCAST! This week, Roo is taking you on a trip at THREE AM to another STATE to chase down the very CHANCE at getting a great photo....will he succeed????

Also - we talk about how to easily measure degrees in the night sky, what kind of binoculars work best for astronomy, and even the FUTURE of binoculars with augmented reality tech on the horizon! We really do live in a GOLDEN AGE of Astronomy!  Also....Captain Cumulus may make an appearance!

If you would like to join the Patreon to support the show, please do here! You will get access to the members only Discord (we're always talking in there!!) and soon to be digital star parties!

As always, if you're going to buy something for Astronomy, consider buying from High Point Scientific! We are affiliates of High Point and big fans! If you buy through our link, we get a small percentage of the purchase, which really helps the show! A GIANT thank you to whoever made that first purchase, I see you and appreciate you! 

Thank you so much for tuning in, we'll be back next week with another episode!

CLEAR SKIES!
