Montana Learning Center

Join us at Montana Learning Center’s state-of-the-art astronomical park to gaze at the wonders of the universe through Montana’s largest telescope. This summer, MLC will host a public stargazing series at the MLC Campus along the banks of Canyon Ferry Lake.MLC will open its observatories to the public at sunset. The evening will start with a presentation from one of MLC’s astronomy experts, after which you’ll have the opportunity to use your newfound knowledge to better appreciate the night skies as we gaze through one of MLC’s state-of-the art telescopes.Shane Mayer-Gawlik grew up under the dark skies of southwest Colorado. He received a bachelor’s degree in physics from Fort Lewis College and did his undergraduate research at the college’s off-site observatory on the eclipsing binary star known as Algol. His interest in night sky photography began while studying for his master’s degree in physics at Montana State University. His nightscapes focus on the blending of multiple images by using a tracker for long exposures, then adding long exposures of the foreground to help expose hidden details. He has used his astronomical imagery for educational outreach, dark-sky preservation and astronomy instruction.For more information, visit: <a href="https://montanalearning.org/beyond-the-big-sky/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Beyond the Big Sky</a>
