The rest of the evening will be spent outside viewing (weather permitting). You’re in charge of your own telescope – or bring a friend and share – but staff and volunteers will be available to help as needed!

On April 14, 1845, in the gray of a lingering twilight, Mitchel took his first look through the great Cincinnati Equatorial Refracting Telescope. He saw the Moon, "her mountain heights, her rocky precipices and her dells", Jupiter, "globe of surpassing splendor", the Saturnian system, "the mind over whelmed in wonder and astonishment."
