About this Event
Randall DiGiuseppe, Custer lifetime member and presenter, will be your guide to the awe-inspiring objects that grace our winter night sky such as the Pleiades, Orion's stars and nebulae, and other winter constellations. The event will begin with a talk indoors followed by guided observing outdoors to view some of the objects covered during the presentation. Observatory staff will also provide tours of the night sky (weather permitting) through the many telescopes on site, including the apochromatic Zerochromat telescope in our historic observation dome. Bundle up, look up and take in what our winter night sky has to offer. Then warm up inside with a cup of hot tea or cocoa!
This event is open to everyone. Just bring an inquisitive mind and your imagination.
