Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) Observing Program

Those galaxies with active nuclei – Seyfert Galaxies, BL Lacertae Objects, and Quasars – have been in the domain of professional astronomers for decades. Today, though, advanced amateurs with large telescopes can readily observe them if the skies cooperate. Join program coordinator Al Lamperti as he describes these fascinating objects and what it takes to spot them. This program is a combination of the "Wow factor" and the "Humble factor!" As Al says ... •Capture those photons •Savor those photons •Appreciate the enormity of the universe •Appreciate the beauty of the universe but most of all ... Have fun!
