We would like to announce a FREE introductory telescope making class starting at 10 am on Saturday, February 21st, at Pioneer Hall located in West Jordan, 1140 W. 7800 S. At this class, we will introduce you to telescope making, mirror grinding, and will also spend some time discussing, and answering any questions about mirrors and telescopes you may have. This introductory class is free and open to the public. Anyone interested in telescope making, mirror grinding, or looking at the night sky is welcome to attend this class.

John and Lisa Zeigler have taught nearly 70 people in the Salt Lake City area how to make their own telescopes. They have taught classes ranging from mirror grinding, to making the entire telescope assembly. This FREE intruductory class is the starting of, and will introduce the next extended class. During the extended class, each student will grind their own mirror and receive individual one on one time in our shop to cut out the materials to make their own telescope. We try to make certain that every student attending our extended class gets enough hands-on and one-on-one instructions that you are able to successfully build your own telescope. At the conclusion of the extended course, we will have a class star party where we will teach you how to properly use and care for your telescope. We also host star parties throughout the year to help our students better learn the night sky.

For additional information about this class or attending our star parties, please contact us at John@JohnsTelescopes.com, or see us at Pioneer Hall on Saturday morning at 10 am.
