Dover Library Introduces The Stargazer Kit
Teach yourself the planets and constellations of the night sky by borrowing the Dover Public Library's NEW Stargazer Kit. The Stargazer Kit is a backpack that contains binoculars designed for astronomical use, a rotating star finder, a Sky Atlas designed for stargazing with binoculars, a step-by-step guide to finding stars, and a red LED flashlight so you can refer to books and charts without ruining your night vision. The Stargazer Kit goes out for three weeks, just like a book. You can borrow it from the Adult Circulation Desk.
The Library's Children's Room also has two StarBlast 4.5 Astronomical Telescopes you can borrow. These powerful instruments will show the Moon and deep sky objects
in far more detail than could be seen with a common beginner's telescope.
