*Observation sessions typically begin about 30-45 minutes after it is dark enough to see the stars and continue as long as stargazers linger. Prior to complete darkness, visitors can not be admitted into the observatory as the equipment needs to be setup and aligned with the stars each time but early arrivers are welcome to enjoy views of the lake and the scenery of the campus from the lakeside picnic tables.
*The public sessions are free and held at least once monthly from September through May, weather permitting.
*Extra openings are sometimes scheduled or dates are changed depending on celestial events.
*Highlights of individual sessions can be obtained by calling the Observatory Information Line at 941/637-3518 each month.
*For special group openings, call 941/637-5657. |
