Public Night

 

 The observatory is a small building so it is necessary to limit the number of guests at each session. You may request tickets for public nights electronically by filling out this request form. Alternately, you may call the UNCG Physics Department at 336-334-5844 for tickets, further information, or to schedule an observing session for a group. Public nights are seriously oversubscribed; please call before attempting to obtain public night tickets for any group larger than 6 – 8 people.

On most nights a decision will be made as to cloud conditions, sky suitability, and road conditions at about 5:30 pm. To determine whether the observatory will be open, please call (after 5:30) the observatory answering service 334-3242 for a recorded message on weather conditions.
