Members
are invited to borrow from the Society's small collection of
telescopes. If
you are contemplating buying a telescope of your own, and would like to
find out which one you should buy, first think of borrowing from the
KAS for a test run.
Telescopes are loaned
out on a first come, first
served basis. Telescopes are loaned for a one month period. However, a
member can continue to use it after the one month period if no other
requests are made. At the end of
the loan period, the person borrowing the telescope agrees to return it
to the KAS at a normally scheduled general meeting.
To borrow a
telescope, download and fill out its check-out form. Then
contact the KAS Equipment Manager (details below) with as much advance
notice as possible. The telescopes are usually in constant
circulation, so arrangements will need to be made to have the telescope
at the next general meeting. A current membership card is
required.
Please make sure all
the items listed on the check-out form are present
and in working order. You are responsible for any damaged or
missing equipment upon the telescopes return. Any misuse may
impact future use of KAS
telescopes and equipment.
