Plus, we'll be givin away some copies of "On the Shoulders of Giants" donated by The Chromatics and stickers from NASA's Space Place.

The evening observing session is obviously dependent on the weather. You're welcome to bring their own binoculars and telescopes, and We'll be happy to answer questions and try to help you get the most out of your equipment. If you don't have your own equipment, we're looking forward to sharing. In addition to Constellation Tours, we'll be pointing 'scopes at:
