Please join us this coming Saturday 01 May 2010 at Estrella Mountain Park for a telescope clinic/ basic astronomy-telescope presentation and star party. There will be a telescope clinic from 6:30 PM to 7:30PM. People are welcome to bring their telescopes and receive help with setting it up and understanding its use. Then there will be a short presentation on basic astronomy and telescopes followed by a star party. The event is free, but there is a $6.00 per car fee for entrance into the park. If you plan on bringing a telescope for the star party, let me know and when you enter tell them you have a telescope for the star party and they won't charge you.
