The tours are conducted by undergraduate students rain or shine and last approximately two to three hours. On clear nights visitors can observe planets, star clusters, nebula, and even galaxies. Since each tour is limited to 25 participants, reservations are required and may be made by calling the University's observatory reservation office, x5-4385. Those interested are encouraged to call soon, as the tours fill up quickly.
