How to Reserve

1. Call Reserve America at
1-800-444-7275 or visit the Reserve America web site at www.reserveamerica.com
Be sure to reserve the Group Camp, not the family camp.

2. Call the Observatory at
707-833-6979 to leave a message with your name, phone number, preferred dates,
and a brief description
of your group.

You will receive a call back to discuss the reservation, plan any special program features for your group, and take your credit card information for the reservation.

Reservations should be made as early as possible to obtain the best observing times, and at least two weeks before the
date of your event.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours prior to the event.

In the event of a cancellation, a rain check will be provided if weather is likely to make observing impossible. Observatory docents provide a program which is entertaining and informative regardless of weather conditions.

Refunds are not provided.

Observatory rentals are limited to private events to which the general public is not invited.

If you are interested in conducting a public event at the observatory, please leave a message with a description of the proposed event and your name, phone number, and preferred dates.

 

Best Times

The dates near the New Moon are very popular (when skies are darkest and astronomical objects aren't washed out by moonlight).

We also have groups reserve us to specifically observe the Moon during quarter phases.
