The Toronto Centre has a Telescope and Equipment Loan Program for its members. It's a great way to try equipment you may be considering for purchase, or to extend your observing/imaging to new systems and targets. 
  • You must be a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Toronto Centre.
  • You should be prepared to present your membership card when picking up the instrument.
  • Equipment may be picked up from a location arranged with a Telescope Loan Program Coordinator.
  • Equipment must be returned within four weeks of receiving it (two weeks for popular models) unless other arrangements are made.
You can borrow the following equipment:
  • Stellarvue 80mm refractor telescope (on an alt-azimuth mount)
  • Sky-Watcher 200mm Dobsonian reflector
  • Meade LX10 200mm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, for mounted on wedge with DC drive
  • Coronado PST Solar Telescope
  • A USB SKYnyx monochrome CCD camera
  • A complete Star Adventurer wide-angle DSLR imaging system
 
You can request a loaner through this form (members, log in first).
