at the Strasenburgh Planetarium

Members of Rochester's astronomy club, the Astronomy Section of the Rochester Academy of Science, will be doing the annual "How to Buy the 'Scope You'll Love and Love the 'Scope You Bought" Seminar at Strasenburgh Planetarium on Saturday, November 16 from noon to 4 p.m. Its goal is to provide information so individuals and families can select a telescope or binoculars that fit their budget, interests, and expertise. Both prospective buyers, and current telescope owners confounded by their equipment, are invited to come for free, one-on-one advice and demonstrations of a variety of observing equipment. There will also be displays of some of the fine astrophotography captured by AS/RAS members.
