Stardome is delighted to announce that the Zeiss telescope will reopen from Friday 12 April 2024 for public viewings.
Viewings through the Zeiss telescope are on Friday and Saturday nights, weather permitting.
On a clear night you can expect to see four or five deep-space objects, accompanied by engaging commentary from one of our team of astronomy experts. An unforgettable experience for ages 14 years and over.
Sessions run for approximately 1 hour.
