KAS-Solar Astronomy Project

Sajjad Ahmad, a member of KAS core team is a great admirer of the beauty of Sun, our own star. Started with BAADER solar safety filter, his passion towards solar astronomy led him to the purchase of H-alpha dedicated solar telescope. Read more on the equipment here.

Few years back, Sajjad (aka Daytime Astronomer) being seriously involved in public/private solar observation sessions and solar imaging, started a new era of solar outreach in Karachi, though KAS has conducted a few solar events before.

He joined hands with Abubaker Siddiq (Co-founder, GS) to shape the concept of establishing a solar astronomy chapter of Karachi Astronomers Society. This is an inspiration from Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project (CBSAP) and their efforts for promoting science through astronomy around the globe.

 

We all can and we are changing the world through science and astronomy.
