Piedmont Pines, Oakland
Gaze through Nellie, Leah & Rachel (the telescopes have names)
Check weather before you go — no clouds = good views
Peer through telescopes older than your great-grandparents at this free Friday and Saturday night stargazing session. Three historic instruments, including 1883's Leah and 2003's Nellie, bring planets and distant galaxies shockingly close from 1,500 feet above the Bay.
