Rolnick Observatory

For over 36 years the Westport Astronomical Society has been bringing the wonders of the night sky to the tens of thousands that have visited the Rolnick Observatory. We’re a non-profit 501c3 organization of all volunteers that’s free and open to the public all year every Wednesday night when the skies are clear from 8-10 pm.

The Dome Observatory hosts a 12.5″ Newtonian telescope and on select nights, we take out the newly upgraded and HUGE 25″ Obsession telescope, the largest in Connecticut available to the public.
