Star Watching

Night Sky Adventures (tm) interpretive astronomy tour begins with a short orientation of the telescope, instructions about the telescope and description of how and why it works and how to use it.
Then it is on to our own solar system, viewing the planets visible that night and the moon if it is up. Depending on the time of year, the rings of Saturn, as well as Jupiter's great red spot and moons, are all plainly visible. The polar ice caps, surface color variations and dust storms of Mars, the crescent phases, and beautiful cloud tops of Venus and the green disk of Uranus all show their beauty through the eyepiece. The space walk feel of the moon's surface at over 300 power is simply breathtaking.

Star parties scheduled throughout the summer and fall. See galaxies, nebula, globular clusters and more through two Newtonian telescopes. Check our calendar page for schedule.
