Meetings

Skokie Valley Astronomers meet at 8 PM on the second Friday of every month at the Welcome Center of the Edward L. Ryerson Conservation Area (also known as the Ryerson Woods) in Deerfield, IL. All of our meetings are open to the public. You're invited!

Our meetings usually start with a presentation on some aspect of astronomy, and then we move outside for viewing the sky if the weather permits. Many of our members bring telescopes to each meeting, and they love to let everyone have a look. If you're interested in amateur astronomy, or even if you're just curious, please come to one of our meetings.

Please check the website to find out if a meeting will be online via Zoom, in-person at the Ryerson Welcome Center, or canceled. The notice will be updated, as necessary, any time before 3 PM on the meeting date.
