I went here for the first time on a Saturday night during the annual Mohican Wildlife Weekend. I was there around 10pm so the photos are not mine and are from the website to help flesh out Yelp. The members of the observatory were friendly and helpful. They had no problem showing us around to view the various telescopes as well as Big Blue. We took the small lift up to look through Big Blue. My boyfriend saw a star, but it was very cloudy so my view was covered quick. The place is usually lit by red lights to avoid ruining the eyes natural night vision. There aren't a ton of lights, especially lower by the parking area so might be good to bring your own extra red lights. It was a cool place to visit. They have public nights and community events so be sure to check their website for extra details. The main public nights are first Saturdays. Good for all ages. read more
