"How to Use the Telescope You Received for Christmas"
by Rob Ratkowski (Haleakala Amateur Astronomers)
The University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy will hold a UH/IfA Maui Maikalani Community Lecture, the fourth in a series of free monthly public talks on Maui, on Friday, January 11 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at its new building, Maikalani, in Pukalani. Rob Ratkowski, a member of the Haleakala Amateur Astronomers (HAA), will give a talk entitled "How to Use the Telescope You Received for Christmas."
"The best telescope is one that gets used," says Ratkowski. "Many people buy a telescope and then think, 'Well, now what do I do?' " To help new amateur astronomers begin to explore the night sky, the talk will be followed by a help session. HAA members will provide assistance in setting up and using telescopes. Those who are thinking about buying a telescope, or who just want an opportunity to stargaze through a telescope, are also welcome to attend.
