Huachuca Astronomy Club (HAC) of Southeastern Arizona
2016 Astronomical, Optical Swap Meet and Sale
April 2, 2016
1PM to 4PM
This is the perfect opportunity for you to go through your cameras and lenses,
binoculars, spotting scopes, telescopes, astro equipment, hardware, cases,
widgets and doodads. Check your closets, garage, and observatory and find those
once precious items that are now just taking up space, and make them available
to others (who may want or need them). It's also a great chance to find some
interesting stuff, learn a lot, and mingle with other, likeminded enthusiasts.
Bring your odds and ends, and bring cash!
