Do you have a telescope gathering dust in a closet or under a bed? Bring it over and our team will assist you with some pointers on how to use it.
If your telescope has batteries, please make sure they are fresh or to bring spares. If your scope came with a manual and you have it, please bring it (if you can’t find the manual, don’t worry). We will set up in the parking lot in front of our Learning Center.
