We are pleased to announce that the Confederation Centre Public Library now has a telescope that can be borrowed by library patrons. This came about through a partnership between the library, the Sidewalk Astronomers of Charlottetown, and UPEI Physics.

The telescope is a Sky Watcher 6″ Dobsonian and is easy to use so even beginner astronomers can be up and going in a short time.

Information about reserving the telescope can be found on the Library’s website. UPEI Physics helped put together a user guide (which is provided when the telescope is borrowed from the Library) and also an introductory video on using the telescope.
