More Information

Tonight’s program is all about telescopes. Do you have a telescope at home that you aren’t quite sure how to use? Bring it with you for help from our astronomy volunteers. Or learn how to use one of the museum’s dobsonian telescope. Hands-on activities and skywatching as well. Jupiter may be in view.
Program is free, but registration required. Register at  https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/skywatching-2024-3357499

SOME SPECIFICS:
• Observatory Park will be dark, but please do not bring a bright flashlight; bring a red light as it will be less intrusive to other watchers. Adjust the brightness of electronic devices.

• Portable bathrooms will be available. There is no running water in the park. Alcohol is not permitted at events in City parks.
Events at Observatory Park could be cancelled or modified at the last moment if conditions, including inclement weather or Covid restrictions limit the event.
