Loaner Telescopes, Accessories, DVDs & Books

 

Items belonging to the club may be borrowed at no cost by NoCoAstro members in good standing. New members (less than 6 months) need approval from a club officer to borrow some high-valued items. NoCoAstro wants these items to get used; please contact an officer to arrange a loan. By borrowing an item, the club member agrees to:

​

• Request training in an item’s proper use and care if not experienced in its operation

• Reasonably protect the borrowed item(s) from loss or damage

• Return the item in the same condition as received, other than signs of normal use (eg. dust, mount run marks)

• Don't attempt cleaning of any optical surfaces

• Promptly report any damaged or missing items to a club officer

• Repair, replace, or reimburse the club for lost or damaged items, as determined by the club officers

• Return the item after the agreed-upon loan period, or upon member request - whichever is later

• Make the item(s) available for NCAS-supported outreach events, as requested

• Return all items if membership lapses

• Provide current contact information (email and phone number) to the club

• Contact a club officer if you have any questions
