However\, if you plan to attend\, we suggest bringing a blanket or chairs and some snacks so you can relax under the stars.\n\n\n\nWe ask that you leave all pets at home\, even those on a leash. Darkness\, lots of people\, expensive telescopes\, and pets are a bad combination. Pets will not be permitted near the telescopes.\n\n\n\n\nHave more questions about skywatching?
