Your Cosmos:  All About Telescopes

Details

Telescopes can be a great way to expand your interest in astronomy, but it can be daunting to get started. We’ll discuss common buying mistakes for first-time users and talk about getting started with your equipment, whether you’ve had one lying around or are just getting your first scope! Additionally you’ll learn about the history of the modern telescope and how professional astronomers use observatories to make cosmic discoveries, along with tips for taking photos of the night sky.
