Astronomy Notes – "How to Buy a Telescope" Presentation

Past event
Jul 25, 2021

Thinking about buying a telescope for yourself or your kids but have questions? What's the difference between a reflector and a refractor? What does "625x" mean, and is it good? And, of course, how much might all this cost?

Come to this presentation on Sunday, July 25, from 7 – 8 PM at the beach house at the state park in Elmore. Learn about different types of telescopes and what you can see with them. No technical knowledge required.

(Note that the presentation is free but the park charges an admission fee of $4 per adult.)

The presenter is an Elmore-based amateur astronomer and telescope builder and a member of the Lamoille Valley Star Gazers, a group of local amateurs who are renovating an old observatory in Morrisville.
