Chapter Telescopes and Equipment
The chapter has received a number of telescopes, telescope parts, and other equipment which were donated by members and friends of the chapter. Take a look at the generous gifts the chapter has received. Some of these telescopes required some rework or restauration or became part of a project to build a complete new telescope.
See our Project pages for updates on the progress that is being made.
In addition we have a number of scopes which are in good working order and are being used by our chapter members at observing and special events.
