We expect the event to be very popular, so please consider attending the opening weekend events on Friday June 22 and Saturday June 23 at which will give a members of the public a chance to view the sun and stars through our telescopes.

If the weather is clear, those present at the opening ceremony and programs on the 22nd and 23rd will be able to see the sun set through the Summer Solstice Slot in our Plaza. Afterwards, we will open up the roll-off roof on our observatory and will get a chance to look through our two large telescopes.
