Stargazing with Russell Crotty and Laura Gruenther at Taft Gardens

Perched above the Gardens, our Vista Point is the perfect locale for nighttime sky observation. As dusk falls, guests will be invited to enjoy the view while astronomy enthusiasts Russell and Laura  offer a short background on astronomy and the basics of night sky observing. They will describe the celestial objects as guests view them through an array of telescopes. 

Depending on the time of year, attendees will observe deep-sky objects, globular clusters, galactic star clusters, nebulae, double stars, and other celestial wonders. Major planets will also be highlighted when they are visible.
