The Charlottesville Astronomical Society has new and refurbished telescopes available for junior astronomers in the 7th through 12th grades. These telescope kits are portable and will allow the user to view and study the moon, planets, and many deep sky objects.
The kits will be made available FREE of charge, one per family, to interested families who complete four 90-minute instruction sessions led by members of the Charlottesville Astronomical Society. The sessions will be held at the McCormick Observatory on the grounds of the University of Virginia and Pen Park in Charlottesville.
