Racine Astronomical Society

Public Night Open House
2025-08-15 20:30 - 23:00 (America/Chicago) | Modine-Benstead Observatory, 112 63rd Dr, Union Grove, WI, 53182, United States
Free admission and 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 (the grounds are not illuminated for better observing) and instruct them to respect the telescope equipment provided by our members. On occasion we may have dozens of visitors waiting in line to observe at a particular telescope and your patience is greatly appreciated. Your many questions are expected and welcomed, since part of our club mission is to educate and inspire each of you to participate in the world of amatuer astronomy. The night of an open house there will be a message on the observatory answering machine if the skies are cloudy.
