We try to reserve Observatory nights nearest the New Moon for our members. This allows our members to work on their various observing projects, do some astrophotography, share ideas and help each other with their goals. You can bring along family or a friend if they want to observe with you. The Spring sky has many attractions however our rural hilltop site can experience a brisk breeze . Spring evenings can occasionally become quite cool after dark, so you might bring along a light jacket. You might want to bring along a snack and drink and enjoy visiting in our classroom.
PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE FOR CHANGES DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS
Event may be cancelled for clouds or our other weather related hazards. Check our website before heading out.
If the Friday session is cancelled due to weather, we will try again on Saturday evening.
As a member you may bring family members or a friend that wants to observe with you but not large groups.
Please keep minor family members within your observing area with a supervising adult.
To develop your observing skills, you may want to consider trying to earn one of the over 40 well designed observing certificates from the Astronomical League. Check out some of their Observing Programs
