CFAS Telescopes

CFAS owns and maintains numerous telescopes.  You can find details about these telescopes at this web site: http://www.cfas.org/filemgmt_data/files/CFAS%20Telescopes.pdf .

These telescopes are maintained in two categories; Outreach and Loaner telescopes. 

Loaner telescopes are available to be checked out from the observing committee for up to 30 days. Check outs are normally scheduled at the monthly meetings although special arrangements can be made.  CFAS members can reserve telescopes by posting on the CFAS Telescope Forum: http://www.cfas.org/forum/index.php?forum=16

Outreach telescopes are very high end telescopes that are used during our Outreach observing events, and are maintained by CFAS members.  These telescopes are normally avaiable for viewing objects during monthly observing sessions.  Please make it a point to spend some time observing through them at our sessions.

If you have questions please contact the observing chairman: raygjones@earthlink.net .
