Do you have a telescope gathering dust? Have you recently bought or gifted one and don’t know how to use it? Join the Elan Valley Dark Sky Team as we show you how to set up and use your new acquisition.
If the skies are clear, they will assist you in using your telescope with tricks and tips on finding particular objects. Refreshments will be available. Booking is essential as places are minimal, so that we can provide reasonable quality assistance.
Please note that this has already taken place on 05/04/2024
