The Observer's Handbook is a phenomenal resource for any astronomer. It tells you everything that's going to be happening in the sky that year! But it can be intimidating. There are lots of charts and diagrams that can scare off new astronomers upon first glance. 

But fear not! We are here to help. RASC National and Handbook Editor James Edgar have hosted a series of webinars to make the Observer's Handbook more accessible to our members! They break the Handbook down by section. Find the section you're most interested in and take a look at what James and some of the Handbook contributors have to say!
