Created by Gaby Komm, Modified on Sun, 7 May, 2023 at 5:45 PM by Gaby Komm

  • I heard you guys recently underwent some renovations. What new changes should we expect to see?  
    • Yes, we reopened in March 2021, after a 2-year hiatus.  During the renovation, the exhibit area and Expedition Center were updated, the domes and observation deck were upgraded, and new equipment was purchased. 
    • We now offer a combination of viewing through telescope eyepieces, and camera-assisted viewing (cameras connected to the eyepiece, which allows for clearer images and deeper in space.)
  • Is the Planetarium at the George currently running? 
    • We do not have any current plans to offer it to the public.  
    • We offer this on a limited basis to field trips. Inquiries can be sent to observatory@hmns.org or kself@hmns.org. 
  • What else do you offer at the George Observatory? 
    • We also offer missions in the Expedition Center, field trips, astronomy classes, badges on demand, private stargazing nights during the week – all with advance booking and payment. Inquiries can be sent to observatory@hmns.org or kself@hmns.org
