oregon observatory at sunriver印象
-
We where there for the two hour star party and got to see several star clusters, jupiter, and a very big bright moon. Lots of scopes set up with expert astronomers to tell you about the sights. Great for kids 10 and over who are interested in science. Small fee to get in, see their web site for details. And bring a jacket no matter when you go, it gets cold!

We had NO idea how many telescopes this facility had nor how many superbly informed staff there were on hand to answer numerous questions.We were able to observe Mars, Saturn and a nearly full moon in addition to a couple of globular clusters (one with over a million stars for heavens sake).The 30-minute presentation in the theater provided interesting insights into the solar system and was done with more than a little flair. This venue is a MUST visit for all ages!

Honestly, we are not space or planetary science fans but chose to do the observatory because it was there, we almost didn't go. But we are SOOOOOO glad we did! There were at least 10 telescopes showing, in detail, Saturn and it's rings, galaxies, and stars. It was awesome! They also had a constellation presentation that was great. There really aren't many opportunities to see this much space 'stuff' at once. We all enjoyed it and totally recommend it.

Great place... Got to see Saturn's rings for my first time...Dark enough to see a lot of the milky way..They had about 10 telescopes lined up first come first serve. Never know what they are going to see. I even point out the ISS flying over to be every one..A little noisy with the kids... But most people did not stay after they saw the first 5-6 telescopes. So it was nice.. I just laid down on a bench and looked for Satellites and meteors. On our day they were open 9-11pm. TIP.....I got there a bit early to let my eyes adjust... Jupiter was not visible. But I am sure you can see it in a month or so.. There is a little town and shopping just before you get there..TIP... Go to the back and start there... While everyone is standing in line at the front telescopes..

Don't miss this experience! We brought a 21 year old, 9 and 11 year old and had a blast! This facility is a treasure and the volunteers and staff are amazing! We saw stars, galaxies, planets and the moon and then went back for their free sun viewing during the day. Can't recommend this experience enough! Parking is limited, but bike trail goes straight there.

This is our forth trip to Sunriver and our first time to the Observatory. It certainly won't be our last. The combination of self-paced viewing and interesting presentations was perfect. There were lots of people but not long waits at all. We all learned a lot. Glen-with-one-n did a stellar--you see what I did there?- job on the presentation. What a gem in the heart of Oregon!

We love both the daytime solar viewing (free!) and the evening programs at the observatory. An amazing experience to view through these world-class scopes and the volunteers are fantastic. Only suggestion is that the evening presentation on this trip was a repeat from our last trip (life on Mars) and so mixing it up more would be nice for repeat visitors.

Our group arrived at 8:00 and viewed Mars and Saturn in the telescopes. We then listened to a half hour presentation on Mars before returning to the telescopes to view the night sky. The staff and volunteers were very helpful and informative. This was my favorite Sunriver activity!

We in town for a conference and the conference staff recommended visiting this observatory and I am so glad we did! It was a partly overcast evening so there was no charge. We couldn't see everything but the views we did have were great! The staff was phenomenal and the presentation was "out of this world" ;) but really, it was excellent, funny, and informative.

This was something I always wanted to do. The observatory is not open all year. It is small, but worth it. We viewed the sun through different filters, the day viewing was free, the night a small charge.
