We’ll be viewing a selection of objects through the 12” observatory telescope as well as a smaller telescope. Possibilities include plants, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters! We’ll also look at constellations with a laser pointer. Bring your questions and your curiosity! Family friendly program. Restrooms and water are available at the Desert Outdoor Center but bring your own hot cocoa if you’re so inclined! Please dress appropriately for the weather (layers and a jacket if needed).
