Do you want to learn how to use your telescope? Are you thinking of getting a telescope? Our program will teach:
- The different types of telescopes and their accessories
- Telescope mounts and how they track the stars
- The beautiful views of the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, and deep sky objects you can view
- How astrophotography lets you see objects too faint to view otherwise.
There will be a presentation inside the large building followed by a hands-on workshop with your telescope. There will be an observing session afterward, weather permitting. Rain date is Saturday, June 7th.
The program is not limited to people with telescopes. We will have telescopes for viewing after the presentation. Everyone interested in astronomy is invited.
