Our April Observatory Schedule

The William D. McDowell Observatory IMG_5829in DeKorte Park begins a new month of programming on Monday night.

Free public access is from 8 to 10 on Monday and Wednesday nights  this month — weather permitting, of course.

Dress for the weather; with the dome open, you are basically outside.

Each evening at least two major objects in the night sky will be viewed, plus one or two other celestial objects or events depending on the observing conditions.
