🌌 Nebula
We are aiming to have 4 telescopes operating, which will each be viewing a different object in the night sky.
⭐ Tips for visiting the observatory:
- Dress warm! Some observing is done outside and it can get very cold.
- Doors open at 8pm - our volunteers need time beforehand to get set up.
- Some telescopes may have wait times if it is busy, we appreciate your patience.
- All ages are welcome, children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
- Give your eyes time to adjust to the dark - keeping phone screens dim helps everyone's night vision.
-No bookings required - just turn up any time after 8pm. Last entry is around 9.30pm. It is often quieter the last hour.
