EARLY-EVENING TELESCOPE EXPERIENCE
Most weeks in spring & summer, we also offer an Early-Evening Solar Telescope Experience looking at live (and safely filtered) views of the surface of the Sun, and other daytime sights (such as the Moon or Venus, if they’re out).
As with our main evening Telescope Experience, our early evening telescope tour features all the non-weather-dependent parts noted above and our 2-year rain-check, good to use if your tour is cloudy, on any day we have availability, including later in the evening on the day of your original booking or any other day within two years!
