About

Drop by OM Dark Sky Park and Observatory every month to check in on what our astronomers are up to as they delve into the dark skies.

Weather permitting (if we have clear skies), you'll be able to view live astronomical imaging with our high end Meade LX600 and camera system and also take part in some eyepiece observing outside with our range of refractor telescopes. Maybe you'd like to bring your own observing setup too – the more the merrier!

If the clouds are against us, we've got live feeds from telescopes in superb observing sites like the Canary Islands and Chile, and plenty of video and images to keep any astronomy and night sky enthusiast happy.
