Loaner Scope Program

The SJAA has two types of loaner telescope programs. Both require membership in the SJAA. One is for those who are new to the hobby, and are unfamiliar with telescopes, accessories, and how to use them. The other program is for those with experience.

1) If you are a new club member and new to the hobby, contact Dave Ittner about the Quick STARt program - this will help familiarize you with equipment, and maximize your success and enjoyment. Please realize that your membership must first be approved at a board of directors meeting before you are eligible to enroll in this program. See our schedule for when the next board meeting is scheduled.

2) If you are an experienced observer, or have been through the SJAA Quick STARt program, contact Lee Hoglan regarding loaner telescopes.
