Stargazing

The telescopes at Lund Observatory are primarily used for university education, but every now and then we take them out and invite the public to come and take a closer look at the night sky.  These observing events are organized by volunteers and are free of charge.

Those who are interested in attending a stargazing event should register their interest by joining our (very informal) mailing list.  Some outreach events are advertised more broadly but some events will only be available to those who have joined the list.
