STUDENTS: Print some observing forms from here before you come to the observatory OBSERVING FORM LINK. No charge for the General Public: all are welcome. Please cooperate to make the observatory experience the best it can be for all participants. In the Mosquito season please dress appropriately to protect yourself and bring and use a spray.Park cars with headlights facing away from the observatory.Once you look at a "white" light you will lose this "night" vision you obtained and it will take twenty minutes to regain it! You will be in a dark (red at the observatory) environment designed to open your pupils to the max to see the details of the heavens. No cell phone lights or flashlights-use the red lights of the observatory or a red light flashlight for writing to preserve yours and your neighbors night vision.Be wise, Avoid lines, come early in the semester not the last minute ( 100 to 300 students have been known to come the last observing session if the weather does not cancel it!)
Dress warm on cold days-There is no heat in the observatory (Dress extra warm since you may be on a line for awhile!).Rules for the enjoyment and safety (at any OBSERVATORY)
