Several telescopes will be set-up on Friday and Saturday nights\, to allow the public to view the wonders of the night sky – no equipment or experience needed. Weather permitting\, we’ll be able to see various star clusters\, galaxies\, nebulae\, as well as the moon. \n\n\n\nDuring Saturday afternoon\, drop by to take a close-up view of the sun through our safe solar-filtered telescopes.
