View the moon and other planets through telescopes and binoculars provided by members of the New Hampshire Astronomical Society!
This event is drop-in. No registration necessary. Please note that visibility depends on the weather, and the library building and restrooms will close at 9 PM. A few additional rules for the Skywatch:
- Watch your step: Be especially careful of wires on the ground.
- No Flash Photography: The bright flash of a camera can wreck everyone's night vision.
- Stay Warm: bring a jacket and long pants.
