Photo 1 Here is a
picture of star expert Mike Lynch viewing the universe through his 20" (50.8 cm)
refractor telescope
with an
automated tracking system
during his class. Mike's class is great fun for anyone. In the class we learned
stars, galaxies,
and planets,
and then he helped
the class
attendees
watch them with
his telescope. Mike's telescope is huge! Mike has been studying stars
through telescopes for years and has his own "Star Watch" column in the
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
He is also a radio personality on WCCO
radio. He has classes to teach people in the community about star gazing weekly
(except during the summer months,
June, July, and most of August).
