Event Name:  Viewing Night on the 36-inch Research Telescope
Event Description:  Dedicated in 1956, the 36-inch Telescope near the top of Mt. Locke remains a powerful window on the universe. Its long focus allows for awesome views of the planets as well as excellent, high contrast views of deep space objects like globular clusters, planetary nebulae, and galaxies. Although not our largest telescope open for public viewing, the 36-inch has the great advantage of the Visitors Center securing more nights for public programs than on either the 82-inch or 107-inch, while still providing excellent views.
