Telescope Rentals
Members are given borrowing privileges to Association equipment. Sufficient training will be provided if requested for the novice.
To cover maintenance and purchase new accessories we charge a small rental fee of $10 for every two weeks you have the telescope in your possession. This is an excellent way to learn about telescopes without spending a lot of money purchasing your own.
