Join us in a new location! This class will be held at the Henderson Environmental Centre, Groat Street, North Beach. The venue looks like it will be a great place and we'll be sure to find some extra darkness to find more stars with our telescopes!
PRACTICAL | HANDS-ON | ABOVE ALL, FUN!
If you own a telescope and are having difficulty working out how to use it or if you're confused about which telescope to buy, this single evening class will help you on your way.
WHO IS SUITED TO THIS CLASS?
You have telescope but are not sure how to use it properly.
You don't have a telescope but are thinking of buying one. This class is a great way to learn more about telescopes so you can choose the best one to suit you.
You have never been into Astronomy before but want to see what it's all about.
This class is specially designed for beginners and will cover all the basics to kick-start your knowledge.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
With astronomy guides on hand, you will learn all the basics including:
Telescopes and mounts
Finder scopes, eyepieces and focusing
Extra tools to find out what to see in the night sky
NEW TIPS, TOOLS & SKILLS:
For those who have been to a BYO Telescope Class before, join us on the oval for a tips, tools and skills update. While new telescope owners are covering all the basics inside, you'll be on the oval with one of our terrific Astronomy Guides learning something new for your telescope! It's also a chance to iron out any telescope issues and get advice on new equipment you're thinking of buying.
At this class: To be advised.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LARGER TELESCOPES:
More complicated telescopes with larger equatorial mounts do require more than one class to get you fully underway. However, this class will certainly get you started on your astronomical journey!
BYO Telescope Classes don’t cover South Celestial Pole Alignment which is an important step in using larger equatorial mounts.
You might prefer to have a Private Lesson instead where you can receive one-on-one tuition.
PRICES:
$115 Telescope Owners
$38.50 Adult (without telescope)
$27.50 Child (recommended for children aged 8-16 years with a keen interest in astronomy)
COVID SAFE PLAN & GUIDELINES:
Stargazers Club WA has a COVID Safety Plan and is open and committed to maintaining the WA Government’s safety measures. We’re doing our part to keep you safe. Please respect the rules, our workers, volunteers and other customers.
