Important information from the George Observatory...

There are a few things to remember that make Astronomy Day safe and enjoyable for everyone:

   

No Running in the parking lot or inside the observatory viewing area



Only "Red Light" Flashlights Allowed on the Observing Deck

Astronomers use "red light" flashlights to keep their night vision - astronomers call it being "dark adapted." You can purchase "red light" flashlights at Land, Sea & Sky before the event, or at their display in the downstairs exhibit area during the event. You can also make your own by using red colored cellophane on the front of a regular flashlight.

Please do not touch the telescopes or observing equipment without permission.

Many of the telescopes that will be used for viewing by the general public on Astronomy Day are the personal property of Astronomy Day volunteers. It is proper astronomy etiquette to ask permission before touching a telescope.
