Each month's program will focus on celestial objects seen in that season's sky. For instance, in the winter skies in Hawai'i we will look at the Orion Nebula, Pleiades, and put them in contexts with Hawaiian traditions.
A VIS staff member will orient the program’s participants to the night’s sky via a live feed, as well as introduce the instruments and techniques used to view a deep space object. In turn, the ‘Imiloa planetarium operator will then take the audience to those objects for a more in-depth look.
