How to use your telescope workshop
Friday 13th January 2023 from 18:30pm to 20:30pm
Bore Place Country House and Outdoor Education Centre
Chiddingstone, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 7AR, South East
Did you get a new telescope for Christmas? Are you dusting off an antique ‘scope from the attic?
Many people have a telescope but don’t know how to use it. An adequately set up telescope will open the sky for you to learn and explore. Our evening workshop is here to help you understand how to get the most from your stargazing.
Join the team from the Edenbridge and District Astronomers to get your telescope set up, ready to observe the night sky, and find out what you can see this year.
