We're offering Regular Tours (a presentation on astronomy geared to a general audience, followed by a tour of the observatory and (hopefully!) observing of several objects, which may include the Moon, planets, nebulae, star clusters and perhaps galaxies), and Kids' Tours (a more interactive presentation specially aimed at youngsters plus the observatory tour and observing) as in prior years. ...

For broad band filters the sky background will limit the detection of faint targets. ... If these higher sky levels would severely impact the science data, observers should consider specifying the special requirement LOW-SKY on the Phase II proposal. ... Note that LOW-SKY cannot be used for CVZ targets, as they imply mutually exclusive pointing constraints. Scattering of bright Earth light in the OTA can produce non-uniformities in the background which may hamper analysis of faint target images. ...
