Toothill Observatory Public Open Evening - August 2024

Friday 30th August 2024 from 21:30pm to Saturday 31st August 2024 23:30pm

Toothill Observatory
Toothill, Southampton, Hampshire, SO16 8AL

Visit the fantastic Toothill Observatory and spend an evening with the friendly members of Solent Amateur Astronomers, observing the planets and distant objects through their large telescope.

These open evenings coincide when there is no bright Moon in the sky, the best time for observing and stargazing. However, the observatory will only open if the weather permits!

The observatory operates a system of primary and backup dates to cater for weather conditions. If the weather is cloudy on this date, the event may be rescheduled for the following day or week.

Please check the Solent Amateur Astronomers website; if this event is not a primary date, we recommend contacting them before your visit to confirm that they plan to be open!

No booking is required. A fee of £5 per adult is payable at the door (children are free). All proceeds go towards running the facility. Clear skies!

Please note that this has already taken place on 30/08/2024
