(Members can use!) http://icastronomy.org/2012/01/09/new-club-scope/ http://icastronomy.org/2012/01/09/new-club-scope/#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:58:46 +0000 Denise http://icastronomy.org/2012/01/09/new-club-scope/ 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.
