Join Custer Observatory this Friday, December 19th, from 6pm-8pm for an evening of winter stargazing at Silver Sands, hosted at The Boathouse at 1400 Silvermere Road in Greenport. Guided by the team from Custer Observatory, guests will explore stars, planets, and distant galaxies through high-powered telescopes set along the beach overlooking Pipes Cove.

To keep the night comfortable, complimentary hot cocoa, hot cider, and blankets will be available as you take in the sky above. Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children, with all proceeds directly supporting Custer Observatory and its mission to bring astronomy to the community 🔭

Turn the experience into a full evening by pairing stargazing with dinner at The Boathouse before or after the program. Space-themed films will be playing on the jumbo TV, extending the atmosphere well beyond the shoreline. Whether you are deeply familiar with the night sky or simply curious, this is an intimate and memorable way to spend a winter evening on the North Fork.

Space is limited with only 40 spots available, so we encourage reserving your spot in advance. This is a weather-permitting event. In the event of cancellation, updates will be posted on Custer Observatory’s website, and full refunds will be automatically issued for cancelled events. The link to register can be found here.
