Openings

A visit to the Observatory will normally take about 2 hours - longer for an evening visit if the sky is clear enough for the telescopes to be in use.

It consists of a planetarium presentation, a tour of the exhibition area and the telescope domes and possibly a demonstration of the radio station and/or weather satellite reception.
