New Club Scope! (Members can use!) January 9, 2012

Posted by Denise in : Events , add a comment

Thanks to a generous donation, our club has a new telescope for use by club members: a Meade LX10 8″ Schmidt-Cassegrain on a fork equatorial mounting (non-computerized. Seems hard to believe that they actually used to make them that way!) If anyone would like to see this telescope, come to an observing session. If a club member would like to use this telescope, call club president Dan Bastemeyer.

The January and February observing sessions will be held at F.W. Kent Park, located about 10 miles west of Iowa City, off of Highway 6. We will meet inthe parking low of the Bob White shelter.

Observing sessions are held weather permittnig. If it is cloudy, the session will not be held. As with club meeting, anyone is welcome to attend observing sessions. Let’s hope for lots of clear skies this year!
