Powell Observatory 2022 Public Viewings

2022 Public Season

We will be open for the 2022 season May through October on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. Like 2021, all activities will be outside with images from the Rusinger shown remotely on a large screen on the fence.

Bring your own lawn chair and/or blanket. The field has been treated for mosquitoes but there may still be a few around so bring your own repellant if desired.

• Programs will proceed clear or cloudy.
• Rain will result in cancellation.
• Check facebook.com/astronomykc for the latest updates.

Because the observatory is staffed by volunteers, we request a donation upon entry to help maintain and operate the observatory.

Requested Donation:  13 & Over: $8  |  6-12: $5  |  5 and Under: Free

(We accept cash, check, and major credit cards.)
