It’s worth the drive to this hidden spot in the foothills! It’s free! The workers are kind and knowledgable! You learn! You’re one with the cosmos here at the Community Observatory. The space is small yet more than enough to get your fill of stars, planets, nebulas and deep space. I was able to make go three times this summer and it just never disappoints! Hands down to the workers who are patient with the crowds and all my lame questions about space that I probably should have learned in high school. I went tonight for the Super Blood Moon(8÷27÷2015). It was packed from the bottom of the hill up! Robin, a working volunteer, took time to explain where the moon would be positioned and also went and got me a chair. Also, he offered me water. What a guy! I’m sure he had a crowd to lead and teach, yet he took his time to answer my questions and guide me. Every worker here is like that. Their love for the cosmos is palpable. The view is spectacular. If you are coming from the city, like me, you’ll be astonished under a blanket of stars. Do take binoculars, just so you can see how filled the sky is with itsy-bitsy stars everywhere. Be prepared to see planets up close through the telescopes and to learn, learn, learn. I can’t say enough great things of the people and place. Thank you Community Observatory. I wish I could camp out on your hill.

This was a great and at the same time a chilling experience. I thought that I could step on to the moon and to see where new stars are being born. Awesome! I saw Jupiter and all four moons, Venus and Mars not to mention all the millions of stars by them selfs. Great learning experience experience and it is FREE. Donations are excepted. Great for groups or family’s or just your self. Open mostly Friday-Sunday 7:30 till 9:30 pm. They have special days they are open extended hours. Check the out.
