Join us for stargazing at our public telescope nights. On a typical evening we will turn our large 12" diameter telescope toward the moon, planets, stars, space station, and other objects in the night sky.
This event is free and open to the public on scheduled Friday or Saturday evenings, weather permitting. Children are welcome, however they must be supervised by parents at all times. Optional: BYO binoculars, warm jacket, hand sanitizer, bug repellent.
If the weather is rainy or overcast, we will not open for telescope night, although you are welcome to call to see if we will have other astronomy opportunities that night. In case of questionable weather, call 508-720-4179 about one hour before the event for a final decision.
