Public Open Houses at HLCO


Hard Labor Creek Observatory is open to the public one Saturday per month from March until October.

Tours & observations begin 30 minutes after sunset and run for two hours. In case of inclement weather, the facilities will still be open for a tour and a brief slideshow.

**Please do not plan on arriving early, as astronomers will not be available for assistance during the setup time before the event begins.**

No reservations are required, but organizers of large groups (of more than 20 people) should confirm visit times with the GSU Department of Physics and Astronomy at 404-413-6024 at least one week prior to the open house.
