The Fall
2008 Season is ready to begin. Join us for the first public night
of the fall Sunday November 2, 2008. The gates will open at 5:30
PM and we will start the program at 6:00 PM. If the weather
cooperates we should have a great view of Jupiter. It is your
interest, and dedication which make it all
worthwhile.
See the link below for the Fall 2008 Schedule.
Join us for one of Chattanooga's premiere free attractions. And
remember our motto,"We give staring off into space a whole new
meaning." Our slogan is,"Let's go exploring."
If
you have trouble with the
path up the front entrance, feel free to park in the parking lot behind
Brainerd United Methodist Church. Walk up the trail by the
cemetery and use the back entrance. We hope this makes a little
more user friendly.
