Plan to attend the observatory on August 27th. Doors will open at 8:00 pm. Weather permitting, telescope observing can be expected. A tour and video slide program will be offered regardless of the weather. Our staff will hold a telescope clinic inviting those with telescopes to bring their instruments to the observatory for advice on their use and care. Sky conditions will not be a factor for help.
