February 2011 Beginners SIG Meeting

Post by SEmert »

Greetings,

The Beginner SIG meeting is Saturday, February 19th at 10:30 AM. As usual, we are meeting at the Golden Valley Library, 830 Winnetka Ave. N., Golden Valley. 55427.

This month we will cover "Types of Telescopes" and "Choosing Your First Telescope". Come prepared to ask lots of questions - or if you have some experience feel free to come and share your wisdom with others who are curious as to how to get the best value in their first telescope.

Hope to see you all there.

Dave Falkner and Steve Emert
