Wes will give a Green-Laser-guided, naked-eye night sky tour of the bright stars and views of Lunar Craters, Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Cluster, Ring Nebula, Dumbbell Nebula, and maybe a few other Galaxies through our large 16" research telescope and small 5" telescopes.

Attendees are also welcome (and encouraged) to bring their own telescopes. Wes will be available to discuss and assist in aligning and using telescopes as needed. Feel free to arrive early with your telescope to practice finding the moon!

Discussions about all things astronomy are welcome!
