We are offering a viewing of the sky with our telescopes in Kennon Observatory on Oct. 13, Sunday night, 7:00-8:30 pm.

The Moon is always great; the only easy planet visible at this time is Saturn. Neptune is always hard as it is the farthest of all planets. We’ll look at a number of double stars and the Ring Nebula, too.

The event is free, families are welcome.

Viewing is not possible when the sky is cloudy - if that happens we’ll have to cancel and ask everyone to come back Oct. 13 for another try.
