**CANCELED**

Yuriy Bomze

This open house is the first in a series of public observations we are holding during the fall semester. This is an open public event, and anyone can come anytime between 8pm and 10pm. You will have an opportunity to use one of our 10" Gartezian-Shmith telescopes to look at objects in our solar system like Saturn (early evening), the moon, Mars, Uranus (after 9pm), and then deep sky objects like multiple star systems, open and globular star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
The Draconids meteor shower will be at its peak, so bring a chair to sit comfortably in the grass while waiting for a shooting star - no telescope required ;)
You can find directions on our web page: http://www.phy.duke.edu/duke-teaching-observatory
Check our web page before coming for event confirmation or cancelation in case of poor weather conditions.
