The ASTR110G observatory session lead instructor is Roberto Avila.
We plan to hold observing sessions on Monday and Thursday evenings each week, from 8:00 to 8:50pm.
We thus expect that the observatory will be open on the following dates, barring bad weather. Always check the letter board at the BX102 classroom for a current schedule (it may change with the weather as the semester progresses.)
