All evening planetarium programs include a star party after the show, if it is clear. Star party means we look at the sky with telescopes. We have a 10 inch (2540mm) Meade LX200-GPS-SMT, a 3 1/2 inch (88.9mm) Questar, and a 4 1/8 inch (105mm) Edmund Astroscan telescopes that we bring outside the planetarium when clear. Bring your telescope to the star party, and we can have even more fun sharing, the more the merrier 240-567-1463Post a Countdown Widget
