Individual guided tours of the observatory and the Museum of Celestial Science are available for school classes and groups by appointment from Monday - Thursday.

Custom watchers might not be supported by the default visualizations, but ActivityWatch offers a way for watchers to provide their own visualizations. It is currently an experimental feature, but the following watchers have experimental custom visualizations: To save this article to your Google Drive account, please select one or more formats and confirm that you agree to abide by our usage policies.

During the dark hours of the night, the night microphysics satellite images allow for a good distinction between low cloud cover (yellow colors), mid-level cloud cover (pink colors), and high cloud cover (red colors). If you see a blue color, there is no cloud cover present, and it's clear. During the day, the microphysics images are less usable as all cloud cover takes on pink hues. On the regular satellite images, you can see an optimal combination of visible light and infrared satellite imagery. During the day, the satellite shows cloud images similar to what clouds look like from space with the naked eye but highly zoomed in. During the dark hours of the day, it switches to infrared satellite images, allowing you to still see cloud cover.The Museum of Celestial Science is open during the Archenhold Observatory's event times and shows the fascinatiing history of astronomy from its inception to today.
