Rooftop viewing
Four days with telescopes on the roof
On 26, 27 and 28 November and on 5 December, Dūrbin students set up telescopes on the roof of the IUB Main Building. The roof is open during exhibition hours on those four days only.
There are two Unistellar eQuinox smart telescopes and a Sky-Watcher 200P with its own camera. What you see depends on the sky: cloud or haze can close the roof at short notice.
Schools and groups
Bringing a class or a group
School classes and other groups are welcome on any day from 27 November to 5 December. Please book ahead with the RSVP form, choosing "A school or group visit", so that Dūrbin students can guide your group through the exhibition.
For a school visit, one teacher or adult from the school stays with the students throughout.
For everyone's safety
Safeguarding and photographs
- Children visit with a parent, a teacher or another responsible adult, who stays with them, on the roof as well.
- No Dūrbin student or staff member is ever alone with a child.
- At least two members of the organising team are present at every evening and rooftop session.
- We photograph and film the exhibition. We photograph children only with written consent from a parent and the child, and you can tell us on the RSVP form whether you agree to appear in photographs.
- Please ask before you photograph other visitors, and never photograph someone else's child.
- The roof is open only while the organising team is there. Please follow the students' directions on the stairs and near the telescopes.
