DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Roumjer Jomes Mojado (DOST-PAGASA)\nDark and quiet s
 kies are essential for astronomical observations\, scientific research\, a
 nd preserving humanity's connection to the night sky. However\, awareness 
 of light pollution and the importance of protecting dark skies is often li
 mited\, even among employees working within institutions that support mete
 orology and astronomy. To promote greater appreciation of the night sky an
 d strengthen institutional awareness\, the DOST-PAGASA Space Science and A
 stronomy Section organized an in-house astronomy camp for non-astronomy PA
 GASA employees held at the PAGASA Tanay Synoptic and Upper-Air Station\, T
 anay\, Rizal. The camp introduced participants to the significance of dark
  and quiet skies through interactive lectures and hands-on activities focu
 sed on astrophotography\, guided telescope observations\, and discussions 
 on responsible lighting practices. By experiencing dark skies firsthand\, 
 participants gained a deeper understanding of how environmental conditions
  affect astronomical observations and why preserving them is vital for res
 earch\, education\, and public outreach.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/eve
