Are the Stars Out Tonight?
Is there anyone amongst us who is not awed by the night sky? The problem is, telescopes are expensive, and trying to see stars within city limits is not easy.
The Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, CA is here to help the amateur star gazer with a Telescope Makers’ Workshop. The workshop meets every Friday night from 7 - 10pm.
If you cannot make a Friday night meeting in Oakland, here are some instructions and notes from one of the teachers, Mark VandeWettering, so you can follow along from anywhere.
I have not built a telescope yet, but maybe this summer…
