- . Notices: Astronomical observations are held in the middle of the night and are intended for adults because they are pitch black so that the stars can be seen easily. There is no child rate setting. If you are accompanied by a small child, you will have to rest in the car or sit in a chair nearby and wait. Some parents try to lift their children to look into the telescope because they want to see the stars, but small children close their eyes when they get close to their eyes. This is a natural reaction to protect your eyes, but you can't look into the viewfinder of the telescope. Therefore, it is very stressful for children to see other people and not see only themselves. For young children, it is recommended to look at the starry sky normally rather than using a telescope. Normal children have better eyesight than adults and can see far more stars. Some children can look into the viewfinder very well, so if you can see the viewfinder of the telescope without holding it in your hand, you can participate. If you are 120 cm or less in height, prepare a stepping stone.

Description
In addition to observing the starry sky with the naked eye, astronomical observations using a Newton-type reflective telescope with a focal length of 800 mm and a diameter of 200 mm are also performed. What you see, such as stars, moons, and comets will change depending on the conditions of the day. If the weather is good, shooting stars can be seen frequently. Even if you are empty-handed, you can participate with your camera and your own telescope!
