Observer Nights are informal evenings to share views of the
nightsky with others interested in astronomy. Bring along your
own telescope if you have one or you can share views from other
telescopes. A warm showroom with bathroom is
available. There is no charge and no pre-registration is
required. Just come and enjoy the views. Check
our Clear Sky Clock when deciding if the drive will be worth your time.
Opportunity also to test and purchase telescope equipment from All-Star Telescope.
