Public Night |
The observatory
is a small building so it is necessary to limit the number of guests at each
session. Please request tickets for public nights by filling out this
online ticket request form. There is no cost for the tickets -- UNCG faculty volunteer their time to host these public
nights. 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.

map and driving directions to reach the observatory click here.
On most nights a
decision will be made as to cloud conditions, sky suitability, and road
conditions after about 5:30 – 6:30 pm. To determine whether the observatory
will be open, please call (after 5:30) the observatory answering service
334-3242 for a recorded message.
