Astronomy Evening at Bore Place: Telescope Workshop for Beginners
Thursday 30th January 2025 from 18:30pm to 20:00pm
Bore Place Country House and Outdoor Education Centre
Chiddingstone, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 7AR, South East
Have you got a brand new telescope? Are you dusting off an antique ‘scope from the attic?
Many people have a telescope but don’t know how to use it. A properly set up telescope will open up 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.
