Numerous telescope types and sizes will keep everyone interested with different objects in every instrument, featuring planets Venus and Jupiter, star clusters of two types, Open and Globular, nebulae from dying stars and nebulae where new stars are forming, plus a selection of brighter galaxies from our inter-galactic neighborhood. Join members of AOAS as we all ask our visitors to "Please come, take a look through my telescope."
