In addition to NHAS’s monthly sky watch, get your telescope questions answered by a professional astronomer, whether you need help with your current scope, advice on purchasing one, or tips on how to observe celestial wonders. In the event of inclement weather, an NHAS member will still be present to assist with astronomy or telescope related inquiries. This program is free to attend, but regular admission applies for the featured Super Stellar Friday program.

Can’t make it in person?

We are no longer offering a livestream of the presentation portion of Super Stellar Friday presentations. We apologize for the inconvenience! Presentations will be available on the Discovery Center’s YouTube channel within a few days.
