Halifax Centre Goals and Objectives. Members are invited to review the proposed work plan, to provide comment, and to volunteer to assist where and if they can.
The Centre will be selling, by silent auction, Roy Bishop’s 6-inch, F/4.8 Maksutov-Newtonian, telescope, complete with motor driven alt-az mount and tripod. There will be early online bidding and in-person bidding at the Centre meeting on December 7. Bidding starts at $500 for this beautiful and versatile telescope. Bring a friend and prepare your wallets for this rare opportunity to own a special telescope.
All proceeds from the sale will go to the soon-to-be established St. Croix Observatory maintenance fund, which is being established in Dave Lane’s name. Watch your email for a message with detailed information about both the telescope and the auction process.
