After a glorious life spanning more than 50 years dedicated to promoting amateur astronomy, the Skokie Valley Astronomers club has reluctantly decided to close. Thanks to all who have celebrated the hobby of amateur astronomy with us. Please consider joining another local astronomy club (see list below) and keep looking up at the night sky!
Skokie Valley Astronomers is a club devoted to amateur astronomy.
All of our meetings are open to the public. You're invited!
Our meetings include a presentation on some aspect of astronomy. If you're interested in amateur astronomy, or even if you're just curious, please come to one of our meetings.
Our club is a member of The Astronomical League .
The North-Central Region of the Astronomical League (NCRAL) provides a newsletter, Northern Lights. Click on the Newsletters link of the NCRAL Welcome page . Also, our own Newsletters page will have links to some of the NCRAL “Blotter”s, their short monthly summaries.
Our club is a charter member of the Affiliates Program at the Adler Planetarium . Through this program, the Adler hopes to cultivate strong relationships with local astronomical societies and groups. Adler Affiliates receive museum benefits for their organizations and individual members in exchange for support of Adler priority projects, including membership, volunteers, public astronomical viewing, publicity, and community relations.
