So you got a telescope…now what? Workshop
Did you get a new telescope for the holidays, or do you have an old one you’re unsure how to use? Join the astronomy team at Yerkes Observatory on Thursday, January 29th at 6pm for an introduction to telescopes and observing. This event is perfect for beginners, families, or anyone looking for support using their telescope!
During the workshop, we’ll cover the basics of telescopes and provide hands-on training for using your telescope. Plus, we’ll share plenty of tips, tricks, and resources to help you make the most of your telescope! If the skies are clear, we will also have a chance to observe on the observatory’s South lawn. We recommend this workshop for people that already have a telescope and are looking for support with using it. Please bring your telescope with you to this event.
