Public and member-only viewing takes place monthly at the Nielson Observatory
The Nielsen Observatory is located at 13630 Diagonal Road, LaGrange, Ohio 44050.
Visitors should follow the entrance to the Equestrian Center within Carlisle Reservation, to find parking on the East, and the Observatory on the West.
We usually hold two observing sessions monthly in the warmer months and one observing session in colder, cloudy months. We also host solar observing sessions with special Hydrogen-alpha filters in the warmer months, which circulates among the different Lorain County Metroparks.
Connect with us on Facebook for updates regarding our scheduled viewing sessions, images we've captured, and more!
