On many Saturday nights weather permitting the dome recedes and observatory is filled with fresh air and starlight. It was dark and brisk as we entered and were dwarfed by a gigantic telescope. We talked to some knowledgeable people about constellations and planets, and got to take a closer look at them.
On some nights equipment is even taken onto the roof! This was a really fun experience and it was totally free. Next clear Saturday night, take a ride to view the stars!
