Club Observations
A time for members to work on their own projects, from lunar observing and asteroid occultations to the Messier Catalogue and Hickson galaxy groups.

Public Observations
A chance to do outreach and spread the word about astronomy, while showing the public the planets, the Moon, the Sun, double stars, galaxies, clusters, and nebulae.

Monthly meetings
Held at Pagliai’s Pizza in Carbondale, IL on the second Monday of each month, meetings are informal, informational, and inspiring. Members and guests present a variety of topics from the practical (cleaning a mirror) to the technical (quantum mechanics); from the historical to the folklore.
