Autumn Stargazing Event

About this event

This is an event to observe recommended celestial objects for this season, as well as Neptune and Saturn as they begin to reach prime viewing conditions. Using a large 115 cm telescope, you can observe star clusters gathered in spherical shapes, the beautiful blue color of Neptune, and the impressive rings of Saturn. Neptune gradually becomes easier to observe around 18:50, and Saturn around 19:20, and both can be enjoyed until closing time. You can also look up at the night sky to search for the Great Square of Pegasus and constellations. Dress warmly and fully enjoy astronomical observation during the long autumn night.
