Winter Viewing Nights at Coats Observatory<br />
21 21<br />
Winter Viewing Season will run Every Tues and Thurs from 7 Jan – 24<br />
March. Please note that the Pre-viewing Planetarium Show takes<br />
place on Thursdays only during this period.<br />
Telescope Viewing<br />
Our Winter Viewing Nights operate every year from the end of October to the<br />
end of March, allowing visitors the opportunity to view the wonders of the night<br />
sky up close through powerful telescopes<br />
housed in the building. These events are free,<br />
with no booking required.<br />
Telescope viewings need clear skies and low<br />
wind. If a scheduled telescope viewing can’t<br />
go ahead for some reason, alternatives like<br />
planetarium shows will be arranged.<br />
Every Tuesday and Thursday, 6.30pm - 9pm<br />
(last admission 8.45pm). Free, no need to<br />
book in advance.<br />
