East Hampton Library

Join Hamptons Observatory at the East Hampton Library for a free, in-person lecture, “How to Choose and Use Your Telescope.”
Learn about the wonders of your universe! On Tues June 30th, at 6:00 PM, join Hamptons Observatory at the East Hampton Library for a free, in-person lecture, “How to Choose and Use Your Telescope.” If you don’t know which telescope to buy, or if you already have a telescope but don’t know how to use it, or if there’s a problem with your equipment, this program is for you! Dan Higgins, veteran amateur astronomer, a Fellow in the Royal Astronomical Society, and the founder of AstroWorld Telescopes and AstroWorldTV, will answer your questions. Dan and Hamptons Observatory astronomers will also provide hands-on help with your individual issues. Feel free to bring your telescope. If time and weather permit, afterwards we’ll all go outside to do some stargazing, put your new knowledge to work, and maybe even see the “planet parade.”
Daniel Higgins has been an amateur astronomer for decades, a passion that started at the age of 7 when he first saw Saturn through a telescope. He has always made a point of sharing his expertise and knowledge of astronomy with others, in fact, in May 2022, he was honored as a Fellow in the Royal Astronomical Society, a testament to his dedication and significant contribution to the field. He is also an Explore Scientific Alliance Ambassador. Dan is founder of AstroWorld Telescopes—a company that sells telescope equipment and astrophotography gear--and AstroWorldTV—a global, online community where astronomers and astrophotographers come together to share knowledge, overcome challenges, and celebrate the wonders of the night sky. AstroWeb hosts weekly chats on YouTube, Facebook and Twitch: Wednesdays at 8PM for more technical discussions and Fridays at 8:00 PM for basic chats.
This lecture will be recorded and later posted on Hamptons Observatory’s YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.bit.ly/ObservatoryVideos" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://www.bit.ly/ObservatoryVideos</a>
Hamptons Observatory thanks Dan for taking the time to share his expertise and the East Hampton Library for their kind collaboration.

We wanted to create a place where guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals, thoughtful service, and an inviting atmosphere while honoring the history of this iconic location. Our goal is for Lion's Nook to become a place people return to again and again."
Lion's Nook's menu showcases elevated American cuisine featuring locally sourced seafood, premium meats, and seasonal produce, alongside beloved tavern classics including its signature burger.
