Skyscrapers Workshop: Using a Telescope

You’ve always wanted a telescope of your own; or, you’ve gotten one as a gift. Now what? What can I see with it? How do I work with it? Where can I go to learn all about using a telescope to find what is in the sky?

Skyscraper member Jeff Padell will introduce you to the basics of taking your equipment outside and using it to find the beautiful celestial objects waiting to be seen through a telescope. From setting our equipment up, to learning how to find some easy and challenging objects, to care and maintenance of your instrument, Jeff will have you enjoying your new hobby, or learning which telescope is right for you, before the night is over.
