A powerful-12 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is opened to the public on Friday nights, for a look at outer space. This is a fun, free and fascinating stop located two blocks north of Lomas on Yale.

Open on Friday nights only and when the local skies are clear, look for the dome on a little hill. view all details
