DIRECTIONS TO THE OBSERVATORY
Every year The Des Moines Astronomical
Society presents a full lecture series during the spring, summer, and
fall months. The lectures are free and open to the public, however the
society urges all attendees to please contribute to the operation of
the observatory through donations. After each lecture, weather permitting,
public observing through Ashton's telescopes will be provided. Several
DMAS members bring personal telescopes for public observing. We encourage
everyone, member or not, to bring a telescope or binoculars!
The society also offers special lectures, and telescope
viewing to schools, scout groups, church organizations, and others throughout
the year. Please contact info@dmasonline.org
for scheduling information.
