ASTAR
Astronomy School Telescope at Residence

Thank you for your interest in the Forestview Planetarium's Astronomy School Telescope at Residence (ASTAR) program. ASTAR allows students of Forestview Middle School to take home an 8 inch Dobsonian telescope (see below) for two weeks and use it with their families! At least one parent, along with their student MUST attend an orientation to the telescope class on the day of check out.

The orientation class will begin at 3:10 in the room adjacent to the planetarium and last for at least 45 minutes. Most of the check-out days are on a Monday but not all. The schedule is part of this form.

This form is only for parents to complete. If you are a student, close out of this form and ask your parents to fill it out.

A signature will be required by a parent on an agreement to replace lost, stolen or damaged parts to the telescope while in their possession. An inventory list will be used upon checkout and return.

The telescopes are very easy to use but have amazing light-gathering capabilities that will allow even very faint objects to be viewed. During the orientation class, set-up/take-down will be covered but you will also receive some direction on what will be visible in the sky during the two weeks you have the scope. I want this experience to be amazing for all!

Only 8 scopes are available to begin the program. More scopes may be added later if the demand for ASTAR is high.
