ScopeOut 2024

Event Summary

Sep 7, 2024
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
ScopeOut 2024

You’ve heard of car shows, but how about a telescope show? Come out for our annual telescope festival and see all the different types of telescopes the tri-state has to offer! Dozens of astronomy enthusiasts from the community will set up their telescopes and share their knowledge, passion, and expertise between 6-8 pm in addition to informative talks on telescope basics and night sky navigation. Then as darkness falls, from 8-10 pm telescope operators will share views through their own telescopes (weather permitting). We are also encouraging everyone to bring any unwanted telescopes and accessories for an equipment swap.

 

Great for beginners and longtime stargazers alike. As an added bonus, we’ll be holding two telescope raffles, one for kids and one for adults. Tickets can be purchased online here. Please note: winners must be able to pick up scopes in person at the Observatory.

 

No registration required - tickets will be sold at the door.

Tickets: $12/adult, $7/child (ages 5-17)

 

This year's event includes a telescope raffle. Thank you Sierra O for donating the funds to purchase the telescopes. We'll be raffling off one telescope for an adult and one for a child during ScopeOut. Winner need not be present to win.
 

Purchase your raffle tickets here!  (Online sales close at noon on Saturday 9/7/2024)

Please note: winners must be able to pick up their prize at the Cincinnati Observatory.
