Our annual GAAC "Welcome to Amateur Astronomy" night is coming up on Friday July 12 at 8:00 pm. If you've ever wondered how to use that telescope in your closet, or what you can see with it, join us on the 12th. If you have questions like "what are the different telescope designs," or "how much does that thing cost," or even "will it fit in my Subaru," then this night is for you. You'll see five colorful, ten-minute presentations that address all these questions and more, and telescopes of many types and sizes will be set up inside for you to inspect after the talks. Their owners will be right there to answer your questions. Come join us. We'll also be giving away a small telescope, and if skies are clear, we'll set up a scope or two outside to show you how it all works. We'll be live at the Lanesville Community Center <https://goo.gl/maps/b2mfWwR6qWMpPxxT7>, and on Zoom, Friday July 12 at 8:00, with good things to eat and fun stuff to learn, and you might go home with a telescope. There's lots of free parking, and no cost. We hope to see you there. _____________ Time: Jul 12, 2024 08:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada). Doors open at 7:45.
