Thank you for supporting our observing activities in Luskville and our planetarium shows across the region. Please refer to our Facebook page or our Twitter feed for a “Go” or “No Go” announcement on the afternoon of the event. That way you’ll know when clouds or rain are likely, before heading out.

Don’t forget to take a look at the list of tips below to make the most out of your evening with us!

You may wish to bring a folding chair and a flashlight (to navigate the path to the viewing area).
Feel free to bring a pair of binoculars, if you have them.
Waterproof / water-resistant shoes are highly recommended, as the grass tends to collect evening dew.
Evenings can get chilly, so you might want to consider a jacket.
Don’t forget to put on some bug spray!
To protect against the spread of alien invasive species, please ensure your footwear is not heavily soiled before visiting our site.
