Campus Observatory
For Fall 2024, we will be holding IN-PERSON events at the Tombaugh Campus Observatory as well as ONLINE events via Zoom using Tortugas Mountain Observatory! Please check the table below for the dates and times of the IN-PERSON sections and the ONLINE sections.
The Zoom link for the ONLINE remote sessions will be sent out by your TAs and Professors a few days before the scheduled online event.
Please NOTE - If an event is happening ONLINE via Zoom, there WILL NOT be an in-person event happening at the same time.
Some professors may require you to fill out an observatory sheet, which can be found here. It is the student's resposonability to bring these. The TAs will not have extras at the observatory.

Location
The Campus Observatory is located on Williams Street just to the south of the parking lots, and just in front of the track. It is set back from the street a bit, so look for three domed buildings.
