Post by Sureshks »

Hi all,

The March BSIG presentation on "All About Telescopes" will be held at the Hopkins Public Library on Saturday March 24th from 9:30am to noon.

Hopkins Public Library
Meeting Room
22 11th Avenue North
Hopkins, MN 55343

We will go over the various telescope designs, from refractors to Newtonians to Catadioptrics (SCTs / Maksutov-Cassegrains). We will also have some telescopes on hand to help explain their design and function.

If you've ever had any questions about telescopes, and equipment in general, this is the talk for you!!

We hope you can make it!
