Lets all hope for a cloudless sky on each of these three nights and please, come to Ogden's new observatory for your own tour of the universe, compliments of the Weber State University's Physics Department and Ott Planetarium. The only exceptions are the Wednesday nights on Thanksgiving Eve and during spring break. We can schedule special access to the observatory for individuals or groups. In the event of overcast sky your group can have the option of rescheduling or seeing a planetarium show as an emergency backup. We can also bring telescopes to your site.
Building has both white lights and dimmer controlled red observing lights.
Two telescopes will have permanently mounted piers for easy setup. A third telescope will have alignment marks for rapid setup also. The ladder that you need to climb to look into the eyepiece is 14 feet tall. This is among the largest telescopes in Utah. Twelve and a half inch Dobsonian telescope.
