Stephens Memorial Observatory of Hiram College is scheduled to be open for public observing Saturday, February 20, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Given good timing and clear skies we hope to be able to see the great Orion Nebula, Earth's Moon, and planet Mars! Weather forecasts for Saturday night are dicey at best so please check our Web site, or see our Twitter page for the latest updates.

If skies are cloudy at the scheduled beginning of the observing session, the evening's event will be canceled and the Observatory will not open.

Visitors may park on permitted side streets or in the nearby parking lot of Harrison's Hideaway Gift Shoppe, 6821 Wakefield Road, just a couple of hundred feet east of the observatory. There is no parking at the Observatory.
