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.
