Remember...if you can't see the stars...the telescope does not have x-ray power...it can't see them either!

Children and the public are welcome to viewings.  If you are unable to walk up the hill and have a Handicap sticker, you may drive up to the site.
Faculty and students will be on hand to operate the telescopes and to answer questions.  All viewings will be at the ECU Observatory just north of the ECU Physical Plant and about one block NE of the ECU football stadium.  Follow the signs from Stadium Drive to the Physical Plant.  Just South of the new Student Apts. is a red and white sign that says 200 Stadium Drive will mark a road that turns to the east.  Take this road and park in the physical plant parking lot and walk about 50 feet north up the hill to the observatory. 
Parking is not available at the observatory itself
