WRI Astro Along the River

About

Join WVAC members at Wenatchee Rover Institute near the Red Barn in Leavenworth. The WVAC team will talk about the different types of telescopes and how they work. We will have multiple telescopes out showing some of the seasons’ best and brightest celestial objects, connecting you to your natural heritage, the night sky. Bring your deepest cosmological questions!

This program is almost entirely telescope based.

This program may be held in the red barn if weather is inclement. Should this occur, we will show off the different types of telescopes and how beginners can get started in astronomy.
