Introduction to Telescopes

Arrive from 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

Our speakers this month are Brighton Astro regulars Ivana Perenic, Tom Elphick and Jason Street.

Looking up at the sky is where it all starts for most of us. Seeing the sun, moon, planets and stars begins our journey of fascination with space, why it is how it is and what is out there. In this presentation Brighton Astro are going back to basics to discuss what we can see and what you need to see it.

With the help of expert and experienced stargazers Ivana Perenic, Tom Elphick and Jason Street we'll discuss what you can see, how telescopes work and what is the best type to use. We'll have a range of telescopes to look at, answer your questions and help you get started on your stargazing journey.

For this meeting we will be at Wagner Hall on Regency Road, Brighton. Attendance is free, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space. We will have a card reader and a money box you can drop your donations in on the night. We also have a bank account you can donate to electronically.

Brighton Astro is inclusive and welcomes everybody.

Please note that the venue has a bar that sells alcohol.
