Starting or Expanding an Astronomy Program
Virtual/Byron Forest Preserve
Our "amateur expert" observatory staff will present a short 30 minute online presentation about the logistics and equipment you need to run an astronomy program for students or the public. We will also talk about no or low-equipment programs, and what is visible in the night sky with the naked eye or binoculars, as well as how to run programs during the day. The remainder of the time will be Q & A--if you have specific questions about a telescope, or if you need help with one you own, our staff is very knowledgeable!
If Illinois is allowed to have indoor groups of any size, you may attend the program in person and spend some time afterward looking through the telescope at the Weiskopf Observatory at the Byron Forest Preserve.
