Joseph R. Grundy Observatory

. We use Facebook only to post notices about our events, and can not monitor Messenger messages sent to us, nor can we promise to answer messages. The public can go to the department website to find email or telephone contact information. Public observing constitutes live, actual observing of celestial objects using our telescopes, and is not a media program, as in a planetarium, consequently, opening up the observatory is completely weather dependent. We always hope for clear skies but are often foiled by bad weather.
