Public Nights restarting this week!

After almost exactly 2 years away, we are finally able to resume public observing, starting this week. We will be observing every clear Thursday of the Spring 2022 term, starting Thursday, March 17, 2022.

You can find the whole term schedule on the Schedule Page.

Because of ongoing COVID restrictions on campus, public observing is open to members of the Bennington College campus only. We hope, soon, to be able to open to the larger town community, but we do not yet know when that will be.

So, for members of the college community, public observing will be this Thursday, March 17, 2022, starting at 8pm EDT at Stickney Observatory.

As always, we can only observe if skies are clear, so please make sure to check this page after 5pm to see if we’ll be able to observe.
