Speaker: Chris Markiewicz, ASGH President
As of September 2nd, we may have some guests coming during our September meeting looking for assistance with their telescopes. During our outreach on 08/29 at Old Wethersfield PorchFest several people were looking for help with their telescopes. We extended an invitation to bring their scopes to our September meeting where we will do a ‘mini workshop’.
Also, ASGH has amassed an extensive store of used telescopes in various stages of repair. These were being worked on by Lucas until recently. We will have a detailed follow-up of what telescopes are included, what their condition may be, and what further steps are needed may be needed to complete as many repairs as possible.
