*Post-Telecon Drawing for Latest Book*
Kris Koenig will generously donate signed copies of his fresh off the press: “400 Years of the Telescope. A Journey of Science, Technology and Thought”. We’ll be giving these books away to five lucky clubs in a random drawing at the conclusion of the telecon.

Also please note that we did receive a new toolkit!! “Glass and Mirrors” showing how telescopes work.
