Public Stargazing

Our public stargazing nights and times change based on the season and the academic calendar. All are welcome.

We will only be open for viewing if the weather is clear. Check back here at least a couple hours before observing, if cancelled we try to change the schedule below to say cancelled. Also check our observing conditions page (linked in the menu) to see our all sky camera image.
