Hansen will do a brief lecture about skywatching techniques and tools and guide the crowd in identifying satellites, bugs, planes, and other objects as we search the sky for anomalous phenomena.
Night Optics USA will also have a tent in the vendor’s room at the Fort McDowell Resort where people will be able to test their gear in a fun and interactive display. Ben Hansen will be present at the booth during the week to sign autographs and meet and greet with fans.
