Welcome Back

One night at the observatory will give you some idea of the vast number of objects that you can see. We hope you will want to come back. Obviously, we have been coming back to see both familiar and never-before-seen objects for over three decades. A dark sky and a telescope provide never-ending fascination.

Book another night. Perhaps it will be a night similar to this one for viewing another set of diverse objects.

Or perhaps you will want to view only one type of object such as planetary nebulae (although if a galaxy is nearby, you won’t be able to resist it). You may want to bring other family or friends. Or schedule a night for a school, church, or scout group.
