August 1-2: The Half Moon Hangs Low, the Swan Flies High: The first quarter moon is low over the souther horizon

and sets behind the trees quite early. Those who stick around will see Cygnus the Swan flying along the Milky Way, and

dotted with fascinating celestial objects: The Blinking planetary nebula (a dying star), Alberio (a lovely colorful pair

of stars), and the curious Crescent Nebula (best seen in our big 28 inch telescope.). 8:45 PM

On clear Friday and Saturday nights, from March through November, we do guided stargazing programs starting a half-hour after sunset. These involve a laser-guided tour of the constellations and features of the sky. We will show you the constellations and other features of the sky. Due to the popularity and nature of our telescope viewing programs, which put hundreds of people a night in close proximity to our volunteers, please be considerate of our volunteers and others by not crowding.
