Small community observatories like this one are often where local stargazers first learn to read the sky's coordinate grid, the very same system used to pinpoint a star named through Star Register. See our star-naming packages or browse more sites in the observatory catalogue.
Opening hours and public-visit programs vary by season. Check the official website and Google Maps for current times before you travel.
