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.
