Public Observing
Our next Public Observing Session is
returning March 2026 starting at sunset
and continuing until one hour after park closing.
Location: Carolina Beach State Park
We'll be returning to public observing in Spring of 2026
This viewing session will canceled if it is raining at the starting time.
Please take note: For safety and consideration to others, we ask that you refrain from using flash photography after dark. This includes cell phones. There are two reasons for this.
- Once a person's eyes are accustomed to the dark it takes several minutes for them to acclimate again. Eyes acclimated to the dark can see greater detail through our telescopes.
- A flash if seen directly through the eyepiece of a telescope could be blinding. While this blindness most likely will not be permanent, it is still quite painful.
Thank you.
