For St. Louis area libraries, this "Quickstart Guide" is typically attached to the telescope by the library for use by the patrons.  The guide is less detailed than the indexed sized "User manual" that is inserted in the telescope camera bag.  

The guide is also used by astronomer club trainers as a handout when training library staff and conducting "star parties" for library patrons.

Our Goal

To foster scientific literacy, stimulate an interest in astronomy, and provide people who have never looked through a telescope the chance to experience the excitement that comes from discovery
