Public Viewing Nights
Experience the wonders of the night sky through a telescope! We plan to re-commence regular in-person viewing nights in 2022 once new community-wide COVID safety measures become the norm.
In the meantime, advanced real-time imaging telescopes will be used to display celestial objects at public in-person and online events.
