In this video, I thought it would be helpful to give beginners an overview of the summer constellations and brighter stars, starting with the rising Summer Triangle, and then moving towards the south, and finally towards overhead to identify many of the larger, dim constellations residing in that portion of the sky. (YES, you can see many of the brighter stars even from Chicago!) Also covered is solar observing and astrophotography, given the significant daylight due to the solstice occurring this week.
