Sky Watch


Back Bay Amateur Astronomers a person looking through a telescope - graphicThese exciting inter-galactic observation sessions are hosted one time per month by the Back Bay Amateur Astronomers. Several large telescopes are set up in the equestrian area of the park and guests get a tour of the night sky, while learning about telescopes and astronomy.  The event is FREE and no reservations are required.  Skywatch begins at "dusk" and runs to midnight.

Weather may force cancellation, so check with the park to be sure the session will be held. Call the park for a complete list of dates or check the schedule below.
