The Planetarium at The Bishop is excited to launch Sky & Scope, a hands-on telescope workshop designed for beginners!
This two-part program will turn your curiosity into confidence! Session One, held on Saturday morning, covers the essentials: how a telescope works, the different types of telescopes, and observational techniques. In Session Two, the following Saturday evening, you’ll put theory into practice during a guided observing session led by Planetarium Educators.
Whether you’re a complete novice or looking to sharpen your skills, Sky & Scope workshops will provide the knowledge and support you need to navigate the night sky!
Session Two: Putting it into Practice
After you learn the ropes of telescopes, join us after dark in the Riverside Plaza to put your skills to the test with a 2-hour guided observation session. With our Planetarium Educators on site to provide one-on-one assistance, you’ll get hands-on experience, aiming, focusing, and finding celestial wonders.
Fall Sky & Scope: Session 1 October 17 | 10am-Noon | Session 2 October 24 | 7-9pm
