Telescopes can be a great way to expand your interest in astronomy, but it can be daunting to get started. We’ll discuss common buying mistakes for first-time users and talk about getting started with your equipment, whether you’ve had one lying around or are just getting your first scope! Additionally you’ll learn about the history of the modern telescope and how professional astronomers use observatories to make cosmic discoveries.
We’ll also cover observing highlights for the week as we gear up for the Perseids on August 12.
Free event. Hosted by Standley Lake Regional Park.
