He said: "Stop by any time between 9 and 11 p.m. to look through our telescopes or ask questions about the night sky."
On this night, the crescent Moon will be high in the southwest, well placed for view ing. The phase is a good one for seeing interesting lunar featuressuch as the double crater Messier, and Mare Tranquillitatus, where Apollo 11 landed.
Other targets will include Venus, double stars andstar clusters.
