Join Nancy McGuire, president of the Western Colorado Astronomy Club and longtime amateur astronomer, for a presentation on 10 easy steps that will enable people with an interest in the night sky to become amateur astronomers. It's easy, inexpensive, fun, and you don't have to own a telescope to start!
