During the daytime and nighttime tours, the Planetarium and the Telescope Park are visited, but the content is different: the daytime tour is for a closer look at one star, our star the Sun, and during the nighttime tours we can see other objects such as the moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies, etc. Also, the projection inside the Planetarium changes.

The visit takes place as normal and if you are unable to do live stargazing, it takes place with quality and with images captured by our telescopes on days of good weather.

All seasons are good for sky watching. Therefore, the best time is a matter of preference depending on what you want to observe:

• To see the most starry sky at night it is always better to come when there is no moon in the sky, that is, when there is a new moon, because the nights are darker, or in an advanced waning phase, since the moon goes out very late at night.
• To see planets will depend on the year and the planet you want to see.
• To see the moon it is better to come when it is in its waxing phase.
