Mid-Autumn Moon Viewing Event

This year's Mid-Autumn Moon is on October 6. In the clear autumn sky, the moonlight feels even brighter and more beautiful. Let's observe the clear moon with a 15cm large binoculars. You can also challenge shooting by holding a smartphone against the binocular eyepiece. In addition, let's take a look at the edge of the moon with a 115cm large telescope. Participating in the indoor briefing will broaden your understanding of the moon. Since it gets cold at night, let's enjoy the autumn moon viewing in warm clothes!
