During the academic year the observatory welcomes visitors for monthly open houses. These take place on Fridays at 8pm (doors open at 7:30pm). Most of the open houses focus on a topic in physics or astronomy with lectures given by Agnes Scott faculty, students, alumni or local scientists. During the fall and spring equinox, the open houses feature a concert given by a local musical group or solo musician. Following the concert or lecture, a planetarium show is given and the 1930s Beck Telescope is open for viewing if the weather is clear. Refreshments are provided.
