🥶❄️ Closed Tonight (1/21) ❄️🥶
Between the cold, clouds, and possible snow, the dome is staying shut tonight. Even astronomers have limits.

We’ll be back at it for the next WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party—clear skies pending.

Two small observatory domes covered in snow sit in a snowy clearing surrounded by leafless trees and evergreens.

Clouds win. 🌥️

The Westport Observatory will **not** open tonight (1/14). We’ll try again next Wednesday—clear skies, fingers crossed. https://was-ct.org/

🌌 Star party night at the Westport Observatory — finally.

We’re back tonight. Gate opens @ 8 PM. On the menu: giant Jupiter and its Galilean moons, Saturn’s nearly edge-on rings, Uranus, Neptune, and plenty of deep-sky eye candy. Clear skies willing, it’s going to be a good one.

🎁🔭 Did you get a telescope for the holidays? Congrats—you now own a precision optical instrument and a chance to get confused fast. Before you point it at a streetlight and give up, read this Sky & Telescope guide on setup, alignment, and what to look at first:
https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-resources/stargazing-basics/how-to-start-out-with-your-new-telescope/

Then skip the trial-and-error and join the Westport Astronomical Society to learn with a group of experienced amateur astronomers.

🌌 Tonight looks good at the Westport Observatory (12/17, opens 8PM). A few passing clouds, but nothing to kill the vibe. With the bright Moon out of the way, it’s deep-sky night—winter galaxies, star clusters, outer planets, and the showstopper Orion Nebula. Come see what’s out there. https://was-ct.org/programs/public-viewing/

New England clouds (with a splash of drizzle) have shut down the Westport Observatory tonight, 12/10. No star party this evening — the universe is on rain delay.

See you next Wednesday for our Weekly Wednesday Star Party! 🤞✨ https://was-ct.org/

Dark silhouettes of leafless trees under a cloudy night sky with faint stars visible.

Kiddo told neighbors a week ago that there was an astronomy night in the park going to happen last night.

I had doubts, since all we have is a battered curbside-find telescope and some cheapy binoculars.

Spouse messaged me that 14 people showed.

Families, excited kids. Chairs, camp table, snacks.

One guy brought $2500 automated scope on heavy tripod, smart with pneumatic tires to roll out onto field. Whirring motor turned and pointed it. Guy happy to show + explain!

TONIGHT 12/3:
We’re riding high after a killer Giving Tuesday, and the universe seems to be celebrating with us!

The Cold Moon is almost full — bright enough to nuke the faint stuff — but Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are all still on the menu. Bundle up… that moon lives up to its name.
