An easy cache for the family
When the Observatory in closed the gate will be closed with a sign saying NO TRESPASSING. Kopernik is an education friendly zone and has offered classes in geocaching. The Observaroey director says if you come after hours just park by the gate and feel free to log this easy find.
This cache is part of my Historical.Education series If you are from out of town this is a must place to visit. If you are a local you should visit often and support this great education facility. Kopernik is the best sited and best equipped public observatory in the Northeast. It has three fixed telescopes (largest 20 inches) and twelve portable telescopes. It is New York's first science facility serving students K-12, teachers, and families. In addition to astronomy classes it offers many programs in earth science, computers, space, rockets and amateur radio. The facility is also the home of the K2ZRO Memorial Satellite Station, the only such public facility of its kind in the Northeast to offer education in space and global communications. In 2001 local students used this facility to talk directly to astranaughts aboard the International Space Station.
