Kevin sets up to help at the Scope Clinic

Last night’s Scope Clinic was very well attended by club members eager to answer questions and offer recommendations to the public and other members about selecting astronomical equipment.

Steve Germann demonstrated telescope anatomy by assembling a Galileoscope in front of a crowd of interested spectators. The assembled telescope was tested and everyone had a chance to look through it before it was raffled off.

Steve assembles a Galileoscope before an enthralled crowd.

Due to the club’s efforts, I’m sure Santa will be delivering fewer “trash” scopes this Christmas!
