Are you thinking about buying a telescope for a child or for yourself but it's a confusing topic.

How does a telescope work?
What types of telescopes are there?
What's the difference between an equatorial mount and a Dobsonian?
What about finders?
What can you see with a home telescope? (It won't look like photos from the James Webb Space Telescope.)
Where can I buy a telescope?
Are there telescopes NOT to buy?
And, of course, how much is this going to cost?

Come to this presentation for answers to all these questions and more. We'll even have two telescopes set up to show the good and the bad.

The goal of this presentation is NOT to send you out hunting for a telescope before Christmas. Instead, it's to explain what you need to know to shop for a telescope sensibly after the Christmas shopping mania ends.
