Finally

Registration opens at 10:00 on the 24th. The stargazing session is limited to 120 people, and the projection session is limited to 90 people. The previous event, held for the first time in a year and a half, was not blessed with good weather, but since they’ll have nearly 10 telescopes set up, hopefully the skies will be clear and everyone can enjoy a beautiful starry night.
