Learn how to use your telescope

Clinic is full, waiting list formed. Learn how to use your telescope with the Free Clinic for New Telescope Owners. Are you a new (or unintentional) telescope owner? Can't figure out which end of the telescope to look through? Baffled and confused by terms and concepts like collimation, finder alignment, polar alignment, eye relief, declination, etc.? Telescope in the closet collecting dust, instead of photons? We can help!
