If you ever wanted to look up and enjoy the beauty of the night, here is your chance to learn.  Skyscrapers, Inc., the Amateur Astronomical Society of Rhode Island, will be opening its doors to introduce you to the basics of telescope observation.  You will learn how telescopes work: how to use them, and the one that might just be the best fit for you.  Then, once you have one, you will be shown some of the beautiful deep-sky and neighboring objects to find with your new instrument, and then a primer on how to locate them in the night sky.

Do you already have a telescope, and are having a problem with it?  Bring it along, and one of the Skyscraper members will give you one-on-one instruction on it.  

Due to the size of the property, registration is limited to 40 people.  Don’t miss out on this chance to become familiar with the beautiful sky above!
