Public Programs and Calendar of Events
St. Ambrose University
will host monthly star parties at the Menke Observatory
in the Summer of 2010. Dates will be announced in
early Spring.
Each star party
program is free, and visitors are welcome to bring their own
telescopes or use the on-site scopes. Call
563-333-6141 on the day of the event for a recorded message
confirming whether the star party will take place or must be
cancelled due to stormy weather. If the weather is
merely cloudy, the star party will still take place with a
tour of the observatory and an opportunity for questions and
answers with local astronomers.
