Schedule of Public Viewing Sessions
(Remember, Public nights are an important part of our educational outreach as well as part of the cooperative venture we have with the Park District that makes our whole observatory possible. If you for any reason are unable to fulfill your commitment for an observing night, please contact someone to take your place and alert your team members that you will not be there.)
Public Viewing Sessions
Our observatory is open for public viewing sessions on the second and fourth Saturday of the month. Summer sessions begin at dusk, and sessions during the rest of the year begin at 7:00pm When the weather cooperates, our main telescope give magnificent views of the moon, planets and deep space. In addition, various telescopes and binoculars may be set up on the lawn by active members to provide views of a number of celestial objects. This allows for visitors to hop around and see more of our wonderful universe.
Please note that even if the skies are cloudy we are open for those who wish to just stop in and talk about astronomy.
Special Viewing Sessions
Our facility is available for special astronomy activities such as scout groups, classes and community service organizations. If you would like to arrange a session please contact our events coordinator by E-mail or call the observatory at (815-964-6457) and leave a message. Please make reservations at least a month in advance to allow plenty of time to complete the arrangements.
