My son and I drove 3 1/2 hours from Los Angeles for the 2 shows on Friday night. Yes, we’ve been to Griffith Observatory in LA and many others but this might be a new favorite. The professor who teaches at the college was just an absolute delight and his commentary before and after complimented the shows wonderfully. Afterwards he brought out the telescope for a viewing of Betelgeuse. His obvious ease and friendliness with people made the whole experience so much more meaningful than the impersonal planetarium experiences elsewhere. We love all things space much more because of tonight! Keep up the great work.

2 pm showing of several winter/Christmas videos shown on full overhead dome. (Not just a part of dome) Nice professional presentation by speaker. Approximately half of the seats were empty. . I think there was a later showing as well. Don't miss the coin drop gravity well in the lobby. Bring change !

Go to their website, and send a letter the lady who runs the club, they are very responsive and you should hear back from somebody who is technically familiar with telescopes
