One of the best places to visit for a space explorer.

Dean and John are super knowledgeable and keep the entire night entertaining. I highly recommend taking a class. I would go in Sept/Oct for a chance to see Saturn and possibly Jupiter.

My grandkids and I enjoyed some moon gazing this week. The observatory held a special event where local star gazers set up their personal telescopes to gaze at the stars sun moon. The eve was well attended. I’m guessing over 200 visitors? They provided tours of the 2 scopes and there were special Star Wars guests in attendance. It was a nice event to get the grand kids introduced to star gazing.

We went for the late night date night event and it was amazing! The host, Dean Regas was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and overall fantastic. It was a great tour even though we had cloudy skies and couldn't look through the telescopes. Highly highly recommend, regardless of the weather you'll have a good time.

On my walks before dawn in the fall and I thought last summer, I would always look for and find the "Morning Star"... where is it now? June 2018

"Morning star" is used as a term for Venus, Surius, and or Mercury. You'd have to be more specific on what heavenly body you are referencing. You could then determine the details and viewability. Wikipedia would be a good place to start.

We had quite a few copies for sale on Saturday but we sold out of them. I'm assuming they will get more as his older book is for sale.
