Telescope Interest Group
 

Ranny and Ron

The Telescope Interest Group is a sub group of the Lincoln Hills Astronomy Group. Meetings are monthly, usually at the Lincoln Hills Sports Pavilion.  Meetings are "star parties", where members set up their telescopes for observing the night sky and for other special celestial events.  All Lincoln Hills residents and their families are invited to join us for an enjoyable evening observing the night sky.  If you have a telescope you would like to share with the group or for which you would like assistance in learning how to use, bring it along.  Our experts will be happy to lend a hand.  For more information contact Bob Collins at bobpcoll@community.net.   Our Next Meeting The Telescope Interest Group (TIG) typically meets  each month on the tennis court behind the Sports Pavilion.  For information about our next meeting, see below.
