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.

We start the fall season on Culture Night - IF the weather is good.  Please register via the link bellow if you would like to come stargazing.

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

Fall 2026 stargazing events

If the skies are clear and we can go stargazing then we will invite people to the telescope on Culture Night - which falls on Saturday, September 19th this year.  

Note that registering interest for Culture Night is handled separately from other stargazing events we arrange.
