- an extra meeting (Friday, 27-October-2017) - a Telescope Surgery: Learn to use a telescope effectively.
Setting up a new telescope can be a daunting task, especially for the first time. Some modern telescopes can make the task easier, but poor instructions and jargon - both astronomy and computer related - can be bewildering if you are not familiar with it. If you have a telescope and have not figured out how to use it (you are not alone!), or have a problem you don't understand or just want to learn how to use your telescope effectively, this is an event for you. Bring your telescope along and experienced society members will help you.
Chester Astronomical Society is one of the world's oldest scientific societies going back to 1892. It hosts public lectures by amateurs and professionals alike and arranges visits to sites of technical interest.
