Hjr observatory will be open tonight. From about 9pm to 2am

If your underage you can get a tour by bringing a parent along. Visitors over 18 are welcome as well of course. Some club members of the Faac astronomy club will be present. We will be looking at Mars, Venus and other objects. We may have other telescopes outside as well.

It will be cold out so dress warm and in layers. You can access the observatory from the small entrance gate near the middle school parking lot. We will likely be open by about 8:45pm. If we aren't there early we should be there by 9pm. So if there is a delay, if it's clear out we will be there tonight. Some members will be at an astronomy special interest photography meeting at Hfcc today, so they may arrive a little late. Some members may arrive late after other evening activities as well. We should be open late into the night and may se the moon rise later in the evening. I feel that this will be a good night tonight of observing and can see the observatory being open from 9pm until 2am or possibly later.
