Our next “How to Use Your Telescope” class is on Friday, 1/6/06, at 7:30 p.m. in front of the classroom behind the Centennial Heritage Museum. If you’ve got a telescope you’d like some help with – please bring it! If you’d like to come help people who need some assistance with their telescopes, please do! And, if you don’t have a telescope yet but would like to see what’s involved in setting different models up and using them – this is a great chance to see that first hand and to ask any questions you might have.
