Upcoming Public Events
These events are free and open to the public. At the observing events, we will have telescopes to show you the best objects visible in the sky that night. Our members will also point out the stars, planets, and constellations that you can see with the naked eye. If you have your own telescope or binoculars, feel free to bring them. If you have a telescope but don’t know how to operate it, our experienced observers can help you learn to use your equipment. If the weather looks questionable for an observing event, check the ASNH website before you leave home. There will be a scrolling message on the home page if an event has been cancelled.
