Many astronomy enthusiasts are thoroughly put-off when attempting to set up their first telescope. I’ve developed this course to bust any ideas that astronomy is hard work, and to make it easy and accessible for all.

Students on this one-day course will be learning how to set up and use a simple telescope; how to balance, align, and collimate the scope to get the best out of it. We’ll also be looking at planispheres, star charts and sky guides, and learning that you don’t even need a telescope to get into astronomy. Plus, we’ll be using hacks including a broomstick and the nose on your face to get the most out of using binoculars suitable for astronomy.

And finally, we’ll be looking at the plethora of digital assistants available to help us find interesting things in the night sky.

I’m really looking forward to it!
