REGULAR PROGRAMMING:
Night at the Observatory: Join us for night sky observing at the observatory. Everyone from the beginner to the expert welcome. Bring your own telescope or binoculars, or learn how to use one of ours. Night at the Observatory will return in September.
Regular Meeting: We meet to socialize and discuss astronomy. The meeting usually includes a talk or lecture, sometimes Astro 101 by Christa Van Laerhoven and sometimes a guest presenter.
Astro 101: Ever wanted to take Astronomy 101, but it just never happened for whatever reason? Astronomer Christa Van Laerhoven will be giving a series of talks covering content typically found in Astronomy 101 courses, without the bother of assignments and tests.
