Program Details
Public Nights
The observatory is normally open to the public on CLEAR Friday nights, May through October, and for special astronomical events.
Public programs are given throughout the season and may include an educational astronomy presentation and viewing through the telescopes (if skies are clear). Staff astronomers — volunteers from the ASKC — will treat visitors to some of the best views of Solar System objects in the area, including the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Some deep space objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy, Orion Nebula, and Hercules Globular Cluster are generally observed, but views depend on sky conditions. Solar viewing may be available before sunset.
