Event Details

Join Anthony Krishock, president of the Syracuse Astronomical Society, for an introductory look at the use, setup, and operation of astronomical telescopes. Participants will learn how to assemble various types of scopes, perform an alignment, and properly clean telescope optics. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own scopes. Following a short presentation, Mr. Krishock will be available for individual assistance and will be able to make basic repairs to aging or slightly damaged equipment. Ideal for first-time telescope owners or seasoned veterans!

Free, Public Observing Nights are held once a month, from April through October, around the new moon at our Darling Hill Observatory in Vesper, NY. Other astronomy related resources can be found on the SAS website.
