Mount Wilson 100-inch Telescope Viewing Session

Minimum age for attendance is 12 years old. Limited parking at the observatory; car-pooling may be required. Information on the meeting place will be provided via e-mail one to two weeks prior to the event. There will also be more information on “What you should know before leaving home”, and a "go or no go" phone number to call the day of the event. You will also receive one last update the day before the event. You may bring water and snacks into the observatory. The observatory provides hot water, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, cups and spoons. Mount Wilson is in the San Gabriel Mountains of the Angeles National Forest of Southern California, approximately 33 miles from downtown Los Angeles. With an elevation of 5,700 ft., visitors with cardiac and respiratory concerns should be aware that access to the 100-inch dome and to the observing position at the telescope requires walking up stairs. This event is being made available to a very limited number of PCA members.
