All Astronomy Nights start with an informative, multimedia astronomy presentation by a DAS lecturer. Astronomy presentations are designed for visitors of all ages and may be illustrated with colorful computer graphics, videos, and other audio-visual methods as appropriate.
After the presentation, visitors may be treated to telescopic views of the moon, stars, star clusters, planets, galaxies, and nebulae, all through Chamberlin’s historic, 28-foot-long, 20-inch-aperture Alvan Clark-Saegmuller refracting telescope (weather permitting). On cloudy nights, visitors can view the telescope, learn about it, and receive a tour of the observatory, which includes its various clocks, the meridian telescope, the library, wall displays, and an animated video of the night sky for that month. DAS volunteers will be happy to answer questions about astronomy, astronomical observing, and the observatory.
