The Winnipeg RASC owns a number of telescopes that are available to members for loan. They are:

  • a 75mm f16 Polarex(Unitron) refractor with an alt/AZ tripod
  • a 4.5" f8 Newtonian on a dobsonian mount
  • a 6" f8 criterion on an equatorial mount
  • a 8" f6 Newtonian on a Dobsonian mount
  • a Celestron C8 8"f10 schmidt cassegrain with equatorial wedge/tripod.

All of these telescopes come with eyepieces and finder scopes. They are available on a first come-first served basis to all members, and can be booked for 1 month at a time.

In addition to the above scopes, we also have a 14” Dobsonian and 12” LX200, both housed at the Glenlea Astronomical Observatory (GAO).  The 14” can be loaned to members in good standing for special events.

Members can make loan arrangements by going the Loaner Scope Page of the Member’s Only Section and clicking on the telescope links.
