The Montgomery College Observatory is not currently hosting public observing sessions.

Our public astronomy programming is currently offered through the Montgomery College Planetarium, which hosts monthly public shows during the fall and spring semesters, special events, and educational programs throughout the year.

The schedule of planetarium programs may be found here.

Future observatory programs will be announced here if and when they resume.

Thank you for your interest in astronomy at Montgomery College!
