Spring Triangle and Stargazing Event

We will hold stargazing events featuring the Spring Triangle and celestial objects that are in season during this time. You can observe representative spring celestial objects through our large 115cm reflector telescope and 15cm binoculars. Also, look up at the night sky and try to find the constellation Leo and the Spring Great Curve using the characteristic arrangement of stars as a hint. It can get chilly at night, so don't forget your warm clothing. Enjoy the spring night sky during the long weekend!
