UW-MADISON'S SPACE PLACE CLINIC TEACHES TELESCOPE USE
MADISON - The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Place will hold its ninth annual telescope clinic Tuesday, Jan. 25. Volunteers from the university, as well as the Madison Astronomical Society and Eagle Optics, will help visitors learn to set up their new or old telescopes and get started observing the night sky. Telescopes will be available for those without their own to view.
Jim Lattis, director of UW Space Place, says he is hoping the event will provide an opportunity for sky viewing, especially for a glimpse of comet Machholz. "We're hoping, if the sky is clear, we can help people see it with their own telescopes," he says.
The event, which runs from 6:30-9 p.m., is free and open to the public. The UW Space Place is located at 1605 S. Park St. For more information, visit http://www.spaceplace.wisc.edu/or e-mail Kay Kriewald at kay@sal.wisc.edu.
