Public Observing resumes for the Spring term this week. We will observe every clear Thursday, starting this Thursday, March 23 at 8pm. As the spring goes on, observing will start later to accommodate the later sunset times (see schedule here). As always, we only observe when the weather is clear.

The observatory is closed to the public during Bennington’s Field Work Term. Public observing will resume once our Spring term starts, likely in late February or early March. Information will be posted here once observing resumes!

Luckily, the skies look good for tonight so public observing is ON! This is the last public observing night of the term so come on down to Stickney Observatory around 7pm! Hope to see you there!
