As it happened, Daxton could have spent the entire trip here, watching the progress of the orrery and maybe occasionally revisiting the other displays in the room, and he did indeed take his time here. However, as time progressed, Daxton started to become more aware of the room filling up. Again, he had no idea whether or not they were Hogwarts students, students from other schools, or the general public, but people were people and they were all equally unpleasant. In any case, sooner or later the other students from his school would start arriving, and the longer he lingered here, the more likely he would encounter them. So, after one last look at the orrery, then stopping by the meteorite one more time to touch and otherwise poke at it, Daxton took his leave of the gallery and went on his way.

Perhaps by now, the Great Equatorial Telescope Dome would be free enough of people that he would be able to at least appreciate it. Daxton took a moment to get his bearings, and recall the map he had committed to memory. After a brief pause, he set off in a new direction, ducking around other Observatory visitors along the way.

Of course, when he arrived at the area of the telescope, Daxton soon found that this area was nowhere near as empty as he wanted it to be. A long queue for the telescope was right, and as he eyed the people gathered, Daxton began to reconsider whether he wanted to be here at all. He hung back a little, eyeing the queue, already feeling uncomfortable and impatient purely from the idea of waiting in line.
