REGULAR PROGRAMMING:
Night at the Observatory: Public open night. Join us for night sky observing at the observatory. Everyone from the beginner to the expert welcome. Bring your own telescope or binoculars, or learn how to use one of ours.
Regular Meeting: We meet to socialize and discuss astronomy. The meeting usually includes a talk or lecture.
Observers Night: For observers to come do some observing (or to chat about observing if the weather is not cooperative). We will usually meet at the Observatory, but occasionally we may meet at another location. You are expected to be an observer (learning or advanced). This is not a public open night.
Star Party: In August and March we hold a “star party” event. Over two evenings we gather for night sky observing, weather permitting. Most often each evening will also feature some event, e.g a talk or a space-related movie, that will happen weather regardless.
HOW TO GET TO THE OBSERVATORY:
