The general rules for telescope loan are: 1.  Take good care of the telescope; don't leave it outside when not in use; promise to replace if destroyed due to neglect.  2.  Bring the telescope to Dark Night at Overlook Park whenever possible.  See "Observing" tab for dates. 3.  Have fun and enjoy the stars and planets. Available telescopes are listed below.  Some telescopes are owned by club members while others are owned by the club.  Each has more information on the telescope, who may borrow it and for how long.  If you wish to borrow a telescope simply contact the person listed to make arrangements.   The Telescope Loan Program lends telescopes to local kids like this one!  (Picture from Barranca Astronomy Night, May 2005)
