Admission
- $195.00
Location
Mount Wilson, CA 91023
United States of America
Summary
This special viewing session is limited to 36 observers divided into two groups and runs from 7:45 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Description
Mount Wilson's 60-inch & 100-inch Telescopes are normally made available for public viewing through our popular group rental program. To make this remarkable experience more accessible to visitors not associated with a group, we have set aside a night for individuals to observe the stars. But this session is extra special: visitors will get to use BOTH telescopes on the same night--the 2 largest telescopes in the world dedicated exclusively to the public.
Create a life-long memory by observing astronomical objects with BOTH the historic Mount Wilson 60-inch and 100-inch Telescopes. The first group, limited to a maximum of 18 people, will observe through the 60-inch telescope, while the second group of 18 (max) observes through the 100-inch telescope. About the midpoint of the session, observers will be escorted to the other dome to continue observing.
