November B-SIG Presentation -- Sat. Nov. 18th -- Shoreview Library

Post by Sureshks »

Hi everyone,

I'm re-posting this due to the recent issues with the Forum server upgrades.

Join us for this month's B-SIG presentation: Astronomical League Programs for Beginners

Time: Saturday Nov. 18th 10:00am to 12:00pm

Location: Shoreview Public Library
4560 Victoria St. N
Shoreview, MN 55126

The Astronomical League has created observing programs for all levels -- from beginners to the advanced, and for people with telescopes and without. There are even programs designed for observers with no equipment, and for those that live in cities!

MAS members Nancy Rauschenberg and Jerry Jones will highlight AL programs designed for beginners. This is a good time of year for this presentation. It will help people with figuring out which programs they'd like to try, and gives them enough time to prepare before Spring.

We hope you can make it!
