Stars over Somerset - Telescope Masterclass

Following on from the popular Stars Over Somerset astronomy evenings, our resident astronomer Adrian Dening is running this one-day workshop; suitable for anyone thinking of investing in a telescope or wanting to get to grips with an instrument they already have collecting dust in the cupboard!

The day will include talks about the different types of telescopes and accessories available, together with practical demonstrations.

You are welcome to bring your own telescope along for a health-check and to acquire tips on how to use it successfully, ready for those dark winter skies.
