About this Event

Got a new telescope or an old one gathering dust? Want to learn to use this amazing tool? Come join the astronomers at the Earth to Sky Park and learn how to set up, navigate, and find objects in the night sky.

We will discuss different types of telescopes, how they function, and help participants assemble, calibrate, and use their own telescopes in real time!

Participants will need to bring their own telescopes, along with instructional manuals if available, as well as any additional required accessories such as eyepieces or a tripod.

We will be outside as the weather allows.

In the event of rainy/cloudy weather forecasted for both nights, the workshop will be cancelled and attendees will be fully refunded.

Our team will be monitoring the multiple different weather forcasts and metrics 36 hours prior to the event. We will send out an email to attendees if the forecasts look questionable.

Cost of Admission is $75
