The public is invited for a free viewing of nebulae and star clusters from 8 to 10 p.m. Sept. 26 at Moundville Archaeological Park.
The viewing is being organized by the University of Alabama's astronomy group within the department of physics and astronomy.
The deep-sky observing sessions use portable computer-controlled telescopes.
The telescopes will be set up in the field across the road from the Moundville Archaeological Park museum.
Parking will be available at the museum and near the conference center overlooking the Black Warrior River.
The event will be hosted by Ron Buta and Bill Keel, professors of astronomy.
