Friday, October 25

We will be open the evening of Friday, October 25 from 7:30 – 9:30 pm. There’s a small chance we’ll get clouded out, so make sure to take a look at the sky before heading over later in the evening.

From 7:30 to 8:30 pm, we’ll say farewell to C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS by looking at it one last time with a camera on the refractor. After that, we’ll be looking at Saturn and the Hercules Globular Cluster.

Friday, October 18

We will be open from 7 to 9 pm tonight. From 7 to 7:45 pm, we’ll be looking at C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS with a camera on the refractor. 7:45 pm will be the last call to go up to the dome to see it, as it will be too low to look at by 8 pm. After that, we will look at Saturn and the Hercules Globular Cluster.

Friday, October 11

We will be open from 8 to 10 pm tonight, Friday, October 11. We’ll be looking at Saturn and the Hercules Globular Cluster using the eyepiece. There’s a very small chance that we’ll be able to see aurora tonight. If you can get somewhere dark, that would give you better odds of seeing it than the roof of Bloomberg. We can promise there will be good company though!
