John Glenn Astronomy Park: A Must-Visit Destination

In this video, I take you on a journey to the John Glenn Astronomy Park in Hocking Hills, Ohio. A destination known for its stunning night sky views and state-of-the-art facilities. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the park's beautiful surroundings.
I'll give you a quick tour of JGAP during the day, and made an attempt to image on what was suppose to be a relatively clear night. Unfortunately, mother nature changed her mind. It was still a great visit and one I hope all of you get to take if you're ever in the area.
Special thanks to Brad Hoehne ‪@bradhoehne6467‬ the director at JGAP, for permission to use parts of his video in the making of this video.

It looks a very cool place to visit shame I'm in the UK though as I bet the views with that 28" dob would be amazing.

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

It is very cool! I need to get back down there on a weekend so I can look through it as well!

[@Naztronomy]

That looks awesome! Sorry for the clouds when imaging. Hope you have better luck this year! Clear skies!

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Thanks!

[@AnthonySchmitt]

I’ll have to check this out! 1-1/2 hrs away from me in eastern Licking county. Thanks for showing this place off. Too bad the skies aren’t better than Bortle 4.

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Yeah the whole area is really nice.

[@AstroAF]

Wow that place looks amazing and the cabins are sweet! Just 4-5 hours from me too! Thanks for sharing!

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Yeah the whole area is awesome!

[@Dobviews]

Are there restrooms onsite open during the week or only during the weekends when observatory open?

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Sorry I'm not sure. Reach out to them. jgap.info/

[@spookysandwich1355]

That looks an epic place and dedicated for astro aswell thats really cool / i bet that dob does some serious imaging🤯 great vid btw

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Thanks! Yeah wish I could have seen it!

[@meianoitee01]

That looks like an amazing place! I have never been in the USA. I need to plan a trip. 😅

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

We love it there!

[@larryhibbitts2099]

Ok, I'm hooked. Going to talk the family into another Hocking Hills vacay. What a great addition to that area. One question though - if you come out to image, do you have to supply your own power, or will they let you hook up there?

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

Nope. There's power all around the Jupiter bench!

[@TheDrunkenBBQ]

Looks a great place to visit 👍

[@DeepSpaceAstro]

It really is!
