On Friday July 14 at 8:00 pm, we’ll have our first “Welcome to Amateur Astronomy Night” since Covid. Like everything we do, there is no cost. If you have ever wondered how to use that telescope in your closet, or what you can see with it, join us. If you have questions like “what are the different telescope designs,” or “how much does that thing cost,” or even “will it fit in my Subaru,” then this night is for you. We’ll tell you where we shop, what not to buy, how we find stuff in the sky, and what we never go out without.

You’ll see five short, fun, ten-minute presentations that address all these questions and more. Telescopes of all types and sizes will be set up inside for you to inspect after the talks, with their owners right there to answer your questions. Come join us, whether you’ve already got a scope and want to learn more, or if you’re just getting started, or if you’re just curious about amateur telescopes and astronomy. If skies are clear, we’ll set up a scope or two outside to show you how it all works. 

We’ll be live at the Lanesville Community Center, Friday July 14 at 8:00, with good things to eat and fun stuff to learn. There’s lots of free parking, and no dues or fees. I hope we’ll see you there.
