SOME SPECIFICS: The park will be dark, but please don’t bring a bright flashlight; you can bring a red light because it will be less intrusive to watchers. Also, adjust the brightness on any electronic devices. (Red cellophane will be available to cover any white light flashlights.) No running water available in the park.
PARKING: Use the field at the corner of DeSellum at Route 355. Enter the lot on DeSellum. It is a two block walk to the park. Limited accessible parking available at Observatory Park.
WEATHER PERMITTING AS ALWAYS– this includes cloud cover as well as inclement weather. Last minute announcements will be posted on the museum’s facebook page
