Come and join our nonprofit all-volunteer staff every Wednesday night (if it's clear) from 8-10 pm. We suggest a donation of $5 per person.
All events are weather permitting & when the skies are clear - remember, near the summer solstice it doesn’t get dark until late, so please plan to come well after sunset.
Enjoy the views of planets, nebulae, and other deep-sky objects through our telescopes with the help of our members and volunteers. The Tower Observatory Dome covers a 14″ Celestron EdgeHD and the lawn regularly hosts the HUGE 25″ Obsession telescope, the largest in Connecticut available to the public.
