[AZ-Observing] Re: Novice Group meeting

I was interested in astronomy as a teen, but have been away for about 40
years.  I'm enjoying my re-entry/2nd childhood, but I'm a true novice.

At this juncture, I'm planning on attending!  I have a Meade ETX-90 that my
wife bought me for Christmas 2005.  Over the past year and a half, I have
had only spotty success in using the red-dot finder or getting the scope to
auto-find - would there be anybody attending who could assist me?


Thanks,
Fran McHugh
Winslow, AZ

Is "Lost in Space" a re-run of your last observing session?
Do you think the "Milky Way" is only a candy bar?

viewing Arizona skies.  Please be on time, the demonstrations need to =
start
in twilight for you to see how the telescopes work, dress warm and bring
your curiosity.  The Cherry Road site is at least a one hour drive from =
