Spring is the season of renewal, rejuvenation, growth and galaxies...lots and lots of galaxies. What better way to celebrate May the Fourth than at Custer Observatory's first night sky tour of 2024. About the event: Join stargazing lecturer Randall DiGiuseppe of the Custer Institute & Observatory as he guides you through a multitude of galaxies far, far away including the Leo Triplet, galactic marvels of the Virgo Cluster and the Sombrero Galaxy. Randall DiGiuseppe is a professional artist, lecturer, telescope builder and amateur astronomer for over four decades. 

Following the presentation, Observatory staff will provide guided tours of the night sky (weather permitting) through the many telescopes on site, including the apochromatic Zerochromat telescope in our historic observation dome. This event is being held outdoors and is open to everyone. Note: bring a blanket or chair.
