Stop by during the daytime to look through our solar telescopes, including our Hydrogen Alpha stacked telescope, and tour the Milwaukee Astronomical Society observatory grounds in New Berlin while it's light out! We'll have a talk, rain or shine as well, at 1:15pm by Todd Weiler, from the Wehr Astronomical Society.
Demonstrations and observing via our solar telescopes on site at the observatory to follow, if weather permits!
Members will be around to offer a tour, bring some of their own solar telescopes and answer any of your questions on what it's like to be a member of the Milwaukee Astronomical Society.
This will be a great opportunity to learn more about Astronomy opportunities nearby in the Milwaukee area by stopping out, rain or shine.

Note: While this public event is free, our observatory and facilities are maintained entirely by volunteers and our low-priced membership fees, so donations and gifts are encouraged if you enjoyed your visit. As parking does take a toll on our grounds, so a minimum of at least a $5 donation is encouraged per person.
Please dress for the weather - our meeting hall is air conditioned and heated, and bathrooms are available on site.
