Our visitors will get to use the Observatory's big telescopes to take a visual journey to the stars. It all starts with observations of the craters and smooth plains of our nearest neighbor, the Moon. The next stop will be the planet Venus (in February) and then out to Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system. The journey will end with a view of a distant supergiant star.

The Lake Afton Public Observatory is open to the public every Friday and Saturday evening. In January and February, our hours of opperation are from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m.
