Can I also bring my own telescope to the George Observatory?

  • You could, but it is not recommended. There is limited space on the Observation Deck. You would also have to set up, view, and pack up your telescope within the one hour of your Stargazing timeslot. Other visitors may also assume that you are part of the Observatory and want to use your telescopes. You are welcome to set up your telescope on the hill after your timeslot is over, or elsewhere in the park. 
  • For the best Saturday Stargazing experience, we recommend taking advantage of the programming offered by our Astronomy experts (we generally have 2 domes open, sometimes all 3, 3-4 deck scopes, plus someone doing laser constellation tours).
