When asked about his interest in this subject, Dale commented, “Mira type stars are red giant stars which are among the most interesting stars in the heavens spectroscopically and photometrically. These stars include M, C and S type stars which are evolutionally interrelated as we will discuss.”
Mais was quick to add, “Most stars in the heavens including the sun will pass through this stage late in its life and the life cycle of these stars have profound implications for the formation of new planets and life itself. In fact, discussion of these stars will lay to rest one of amateurs most cherished beliefs in astronomy. The spectroscopic and photometric survey of these stars will be discussed.”
The RAS Observatory is dedicated to providing access to remote observing resources for the amateur astronomer. The RAS Observatory offers especially low cost resources to members of the observatory.
