Cancelled due to bad weather-Viewing Night at the Detroit Observatory


Details
This is supposed to be really neat. I actually lived in the dorm next door to this in college where my window looked out at it, but I had never gone inside. Now, hopefully I will get to see the inside.
April 13 (the day before this event) is the daytime tour of the facility.
This event is where you get to look through the telescope!!

Viewing Night - WEATHER PERMITTING please check after 5 PM
- from 8:00pm until 9:30pm
Weather permitting, this is your chance to look through the 1857 Fitz refractor. Please note it is a 19th century building, so things move at a 19th century pace. You must be able to climb stairs to get to the telescope. Criteria for opening the dome: It must be between 40 and 90deg F, less than 80% humidity, and less than 10% chance of rain.
All events are weather dependent
It must be reasonably clear, with NO precipitation, above 40º F and under 90ºF and 80% humidity. We also need enough people to run the telescope safely. Event titles are updated a few hours before each event with the status (on or cancelled). PLEASE check it before coming out.
