An observing session is scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, weather permitting.

• Meet at 7:00 p.m. in the BLM parking area (directions below). A short hike across a field is necessary to access the observatory. The session will last about 60 minutes.  Dress warmly. This session is not appropriate for small children. You are welcome to bring a guest.
  
  
• The skies must be, for the most part, completely clear in order for this event to take place. In the event of clouds or reduced visibility the event will be canceled.
  
  
• This observing session is not worth extra credit for any class.
  
  
• Admission to the first 25. The observatory is on private property and is not visible from the parking area. Parking is limited and carpooling is highly advised. There is no parking outside of the BLM parking lot. Your car will be towed if you park anywhere in the private property surrounding the BLM lot.
  
  
• No smoking is permitted at the observatory. Please no dogs or small children.
  

To reach the observatory from I-15, exit at the 5th Street/Ross Park Zoo exit (at the bottom of a long hill). Proceed north on 5th from the bottom of the expressway ramp. Go about a mile looking for Farmers Insurance on the right. Turn right onto Barton road just beyond Farmer's Insurance and up Barton road 2 miles until the pavement ends in a large BLM parking area (map).

You will be met in the parking lot by a guide who will escort you along the short walk to the observatory. You must be in the parking area on time in order to participate in this event. Late comers will not be admitted. Please do not wander around in this area without an escort. The observatory is located on private property and you will be trespassing without a guide.
