Thanks, So much Irene

Hi Irene. I'm afraid you cannot. In fact, no one can look through it anymore since all eyepieces were removed decades ago. Hardly any research telescope allows anyone look through it (astronomers work behind computers since the invention of the CCDs). However, there are amateur groups in just about every city that will have star parties and allow the public to look through their telescopes.
