Three College Observatory

Is My TCO Public Night Canceled?

There are a variety of reasons the TCO Public night might be canceled, including inclement weather, telescope malfunction or road conditions. We monitor the weather (sometimes right up until the last minute!) to ensure the best viewing experience for our visitors. Please check this page before traveling to the TCO for any updates or cancelations.  We’ll post any changes late in the afternoon on the day you are scheduled to come to the observatory.

Friday, April 5, 2024 – Tonight’s STATEWIDE STAR PARTY will be held as scheduled

Please arrive at the time for which you signed up (shown on one of the emails you’ve received from TCO in the past several days).  This will be a chilly night so come dressed for cold outdoor conditions.  Please carpool if you can as parking tonight could be difficult.
