WASI Monthly Members Meeting

Monthly members meetings are held at 7:00 PM Eastern time on the second Wednesday of the month at the Bear Branch Nature Center, 300 John Owings Rd. Westminster, MD and online via Zoom. There’s a demo or class at 7:00 PM, followed by the featured guest speaker presentation at 7:30 PM.

November is our annual Telescope Buyers Workshop meeting. With the popularity of the broad line of smart scopes of different brands we thought it would be useful to demonstrate the use and operation of electronic smart scopes.

I am asking volunteers who own any model of the following brands of smart telescopes to give a short (0-15 minutes) discussion on the 1) initial set up (includes describing the downloading of any applicable apps), 2) observing session set-up, 3) operation of the smart scope during observationss, and 4) some examples of your results.

Please contact me to volunteer or to ask questions about the meeting.

This year we have a VERY special set of items for our FREE raffle (aka door prizes). As always, and in keeping with county regulations on such things, the tickets remain free and you must be present to win (or your stand in must be present ‘cause I’m not going to ship or deliver).

We will have loads of displays and literature to help you make those important decisions on equipment purchases and the highlight this year is on smart scopes (and binos).

There will be a ‘swap’ table(s) so bring CASH (& change) but also anything you want to SELL or trade with others.

We continue to appreciate any items worthy of door prizes for donations like books, astronomy merch or gear.
