What’s Wrong With My Telescope? With Mike Alexander

November 15 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

£8.00

Struggling to get crisp views of the night sky? Bring your own telescope and join our practical workshop designed to help you fix common issues and get your gear working like a dream.

Learn how to align mirrors, balance mounts, and diagnose tracking problems with expert guidance and friendly support. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned stargazer, you’ll leave with sharper sights and greater confidence. Let’s get your scope sky-ready! If it’s too big to transport, bring details/photographs with you.

Please note this event will take place in the small meeting room at The Johnston building (enter through the red door).

Due to capacity and the nature of the event, bookings will be allocated a time slot of 1 hour with a maximum of 5 people per slot.

If all slots are booked, please register your interest via email (enquiries@darkspaceplanetarium.org) and we will run another session in the future.
