Free Public Stargazing at the Montgomery Hill Observatory

Enjoy a free public stargazing event at the Montgomery Hill Observatory from 8:45 - 11:00 pm. View the skies with our two observatories and several telescopes set out for the public. Kids learn how to use telescopes and identify objects in the sky!

See if you can find the Summer Triangle; it's made up of three 3 stars Altair in Aquila the Eagle, Deneb in Cygnus the Swan, and Vega in Lyra the Harp. In the Constellation Cygnus, look for the best and most colorful double star, “Albireo,” a gold and blue double star.

Did everyone enjoy the new "eVscope" last month please let us know so we can plan to have more objects planned for the evening. Here is a list of DSO (Deep Space Object) we plan to view this evening, M66 Leo Triplet galaxies, NGC 4676 Mice galaxy, M4 Globular star cluster, NGC 7000 North America nebula, NGC 6888 Crescent nebula, M64 Black-Eye galaxy.

Keep looking up; you're bound to find something new.
