Everyone is welcome to come to our star parties! If you have a telescope but are not sure how to use it, then bring it along. If you are thinking of buying a telescope or binoculars, a star party is a good place to see a number of different types of telescopes in use and to learn which ones might appeal to you. And, it is fun to just come out and have a look! Our members are knowledgeable and are eager to share their views through their telescopes. |
