The free event, sponsored by the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh, will focus on what can be seen in the winter sky, such as the Great Orion Nebula, the brilliant star Sirius, star clusters, the moon, Mercury and Jupiter with its four largest moons.
The event is held if the weather permits, with viewing starting at 4 p.m.
