These involve a laser-guided “tour” of the constellations and features of the sky. We will show you the constellations and other features of the sky. Due to the popularity and nature of our telescope viewing programs, which put hundreds of people a night in close proximity to our volunteers, please be considerate of our volunteers and others by not “crowding.”
Because our parking space is limited, we require visitors to secure a free parking pass for the early evening hours.
