We will be observing from 8 to 10 pm. This weekend is a large event on campus as it is Homecoming and Family Weekend! Once again, the Astronomical Society of Greater Hartford has been invited to share our public observing program with the attendees on campus. 

All Parking Rules will be enforced. There is absolutely no parking at the Observatory, you will be ticketed. Our team has our license plates on file with Public Safety. Parking directions can be found here.

You may certainly drop off passengers who have difficulty with walking larger distances and park elsewhere in approved locations. Please be cautious when doing so. We may have a telescope outdoors with guests walking around the area in front of the building to look through them. The tennis court parking lot and the Administration parking lot are available with just a short walk. Cross the street from the tennis court and climb the staircase to the observatory atop Foss Hill. Please note there are stairs into the observatory as well and probably the use of a ladder to reach the eyepiece. Persons who must use a wheelchair will need to be able to leave the chair to walk up a set of stairs and be able to use a ladder on wheels to view through the eyepiece.

Thank you.
