Telescope Tour: Moon Watch

4639 Cherry Springs Road, Coudersport, PA 16915

Free Event

Explore the diverse landscape of our moon, explore highlands, volcanic plains, and moon mission landing sites. Join park staff in viewing lunar natural afeatures and discovering where moon landings took place among them. We run the scopes, you enjoy the view!

 

Note that the moon will be shining during the program, making it hard to see dim stars and the Milky Way. Moon sets around 3 AM, after the program has ended. 

 

🗺️Where: Use entrance here, park in the lot. Walk around the hill to the viewing field, the Night Sky Public Viewing Area.

💼Bring: Red-light flashlight, extra layers/blankets, and a folding/camp chair.

🚫Leave at home: Pets (only trained service animals allowed), alcohol, recreational drugs. 

 

We ask that park visitors please leave their pets at home. Dim lighting, large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment.

 

All programs will be cancelled in the event of rain or thunder. Registration encouraged to receive weather updates, but isn't required to attend. Optional registration will open 45 days before the program, and closes 2 days before the event.
