Brighton Astro: Introduction to Telescopes

Looking up at the sky is where it all starts for most of us. Seeing the sun, moon, planets and stars begins our journey of fascination with space, why it is how it is and what is out there. In this presentation Brighton Astro are going back to basics to discuss what we can see and what you need to see it.

With the help of expert and experienced stargazers Ivana Perenic, Tom Elphick and Jason Street we’ll discuss what you can see, how telescopes work and what is the best type to use. We’ll have a range of telescopes to look at, answer your questions and help you get started on your stargazing journey.
