Viewing Night at the Detroit Observatory
Weather permitting, this is your chance to look through the 1857 Fitz refractor.
Please note it is a 19th century building, so things move at a 19th century pace. You must be able to climb stairs to get to the telescope.
Criteria for opening the dome:
It must be between 40 º and 90 º F, less than 80% humidity, and less than 10% chance of rain. We prefer less than 50% cloud cover, though that depends on the clouds (thin vs. thick) and what's out.
