Powell Observatory

"Wonderful park to exist at. Nice track to bike or skate or walk along too."

"Went on the night they were talking about the history of the space program. I think it's fairly usual for the program to be mostly aimed at children, but I think we accidentally went on a night girl scouts were encouraged to attend, so lots of screaming little girls! They had projected images from the telescope on the screen, which is pretty cool if you haven't seen it before, but I think they don't change up which things they show too much (I saw another reviewer post images of the same things we saw when we went). We waited in line to see Saturn through the telescope, but after I saw the soul depart from my boyfriend's eyes (lots of screaming little girls) we decided the wait wasn't worth it. I also brought my camera to try to do some astrophotography, but with all the people shining lights around, it makes it a bit of a difficult proposition."

"It was amazing. My 1st time there. They gave a splendid presentation. Very inspirational. I plan to be back. It's amazing to see galaxies captured right here in a valley, and not from high on a mountain top."
