Abstract: The club has welcomed quite a few new members this year. This month’s meeting will cover a few fundamental topics. The idea is to help new members get started and provide a refresher, or at least some useful tidbits, for longtime members. We’ll also touch upon the various opportunities for any members who’d like to get more involved with HAL.

  • Telescopes & Telescope Gear, A Brief Overview – Victor Sanchez, 15 minutes
