Open Discount Day
6th September 2008 at the Altair
Astro Shop
with the
Norwich Astronomy
Society. Pop in for a chat
about the practical side of the hobby and pick
up tips & techniques whether you want advice on
your first telescope or to pick up more advanced
tips & techniques.
Informal demos and advice by local astro photographer Martin Stirland on "CCD imaging, mounting & guiding in an observatory" and "Portable
astro photography with a digital camera". Visitors ordering
any astronomy equipment from Altair Astro at this event
(no matter how small) will benefit from a
5% Discount at the event, valid for a further 3 months
thereafter on any equipment including the SkyShed POD observatory and pier range, affording a considerable saving for those interested in setting up an observatory or buying a telescope, mount and imaging system. If you're looking at setting up an
amateur observatory, your savings should more than cover the cost of a local B&B and
a trip to Norwich.
It really is that simple -
buy anything on the day and save on your next
purchase just by visiting us!
