Friendly amateur astronomers are available to answer all those questions you’ve wanted to ask.

5:30 PM: The sun sets. As the sky begins to darken, telescopes will begin showing the waxing Moon, Mercury and Venus.

6:30 PM to 11:30 PM: As the sky darkens, see nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters -- including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Great Orion Nebula, the Crab Nebula, and the Pleiades. Later in the evening, Saturn will be well positioned for viewing.
