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.

Visitor Comments
Took a field trip there. The staff was amazing. Took time to explain to the kids in the way they would understand. Answered the kids questions with enthusiasm! Were very receptive to the kids needs and very patient. ~Erin B
