Free telescope clinic

Have you got a telescope and would like to know how to set it up?

Or maybe you're thinking of getting one but don't know where to start.

Perhaps you just want to view the moon, or you're an experienced astronomer.

If so, the Wells & Mendip Astronomers might just have the answers. We're running a free telescope clinic. They'll be several different types of telescopes on show, including the new digital smart scopes which almost set themselves up they're so easy. They will be experts on hand to explain what you need to get going in astrophotography or stargazing, from telescopes to specialist binoculars. We will have some kids activities too to keep the little ones engaged whilst you have a cuppa and a chat.

You can even bring your own telescope along if you want some help.
