October Public Astronomy Night at the Modine-Benstead Observatory

Join us for a tour of the heavens! Through our telescopes you will be able to view a variety of astronomical objects including the moon, planets, galaxies, nebulae and more depending on what’s up that night.

There is no charge for admission or parking. As a non-profit organization that is volunteer run, we encourage a small donation during your visit to help us defray the yearly costs of observatory maintenance and care.

We do enjoy having families join us for these events but ask that you keep young children close by and instruct them to respect the telescope equipment provided by our members.

The observatory grounds are not illuminated for better viewing and we advise dressing in warm layers since Wisconsin weather can be unpredictable – especially for night events.

See you there!
