Director: Prof. John Simonetti.
Public Open Houses at the Prices Fork Observatory are held on Friday evenings when classes are in session during the Fall and Spring Semesters, weather permitting. The person conducting the Open House will use the telescope to show various interesting objects visible in the night sky (the Moon, if visible, any visible planets, interesting stellar objects, nebulae, galaxies, any bright comets, etc.). Please go to the Prices Fork Observatory webpage for further details and directions to the observatory.
