We love to discuss our discoveries and fascination for the universe. In order to do that, we organize regular public outreach events with tours through the domes or lectures by leading scientists in the field.
Also, members of the OBA public library can borrow our library telescope for free. Registration for the telescope is required. More information can be found on the website of the library.
You can subscribe to our mailing list to be notified whenever we have observing nights. Note that the mail contents and many of our stargazing events are in Dutch.
