Hamilton Amateur Astronomers: Spring Telescope Scope Clinic
Join the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers this April 7 for their Spring telescope clinic! This year their format is a little different and they’ll have scope-stations set up each covering different aspects of telescopes. Move from station to stating to get a comprehensive understanding of many telescope types, eyepieces, and approaches to astrophotography. Bring your questions and curiosity as many amateur astronomers will be on hand to help you either get into astronomy or expand your existing experience.
