November BSIG meeting

Post by mlfj4901 »

Greetings,

Are you interested in purchasing your first telescope? Maybe you have a telescope but you're interested in purchasing another one and you're thinking about switching from a reflector to a refractor.

November's meeting is aimed at you.

Jackie LaVaque, Steve Emert, and Jon Hickman are each bringing in their telescopes, and will spend some time telling you what's so great (and not so great) about their style of scope. They'll be plenty of time for questions to be answered, recommendations given, and hopefully someone will leave conifident about their future telescope purchase.

We'll be meeting at the Wentworth library in West St. Paul. The meeting starts at 7:00 and goes till 8:00, but we'll be there at 6:30 setting up and don't mind the company if you just want to hang out till the meeting starts.

Here's a link to the library: http://www.co.dakota.mn.us/library/loca ... tworth.htm

And another map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?co ... chtab=home

Remember: Monday November 14th, 6:30 (set-up/hang out) 7:00 to 8:00.

Was it tonight?

I never heard back, and I lost track of time. I forgot to ask again.

Greetings,

Yes, I'm sorry it was.

Thank you ever so much for pointing out the scheduling conflict.

There is no December BSIG meeting.
