This past Saturday, the Raleigh Astronomy Club hosted it’s first Telescope Tune Up Clinc of 2013 at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science’s Prairie Ridge Ecostation.  It was well attnded despite the cold weather and cloudy skies.  Attendees learned about  telescope basics, alligning finders, collimation, polar alignment and lots of advice that was out of this world.

🙂

Our next clinic is scheduled for March 2nd.  More information about the Telescope Tune Up Clinic, including topics covered and how to register, can be found on our Telescope Clinics page.

Thanks to Mike M., Travis, Michael Kidd, Chris M., Jim P. and Al H. (RAC Members) for helping out with the clinic.
