Awards and Recognition
Clubs and Certification Programs
Each Friday night the club gives free tours of the night sky following the public planetarium shows. Current and prospective members as well as the general public are invited to look through club telescopes and enjoy the stars from the science center's observation deck. In addition, most Friday nights the observatory is also open for free public tours. Club members working the deck that night are encouraged to come early to help set up - this is an excellent time to learn how to setup and operate telescopes.
The club also organizes monthly star parties. For more information.
