- Stargazing ✨at the Henize Observatory 🔭Karl G. Henize Observatory, Palatine, IL
Henize Observatory at Harper College in Palatine contains one of the largest public telescopes in the Chicago area. They are once again open every other Friday night for public observing.
In addition to the large telescope in the dome, several smaller telescopes will be set up. Several astronomers will be there to give us a tour of the fall sky.
Usual targets include the moon, planets, nebula, star clusters, and galaxies.
Drop by, look through a telescope, and prepare to be awed.
Free Community Viewing Sessions
Experience the wonder of the universe and the excitement of discovery. Not only can you observe objects near and far, but volunteers provide interpretation of what you're seeing. Observatory events are free and open to the community.Tips for first time visitors:
- Admission is free, however we ask that you please sign in.
- Plan on staying about an hour. There are often lines for our telescopes.
- Visitors climb a 7-foot tall ladder to reach our main telescope. We also operate several telescopes at ground level.
- Wear comfortable, close-toed shoes. You may be standing in lines and climbing a ladder.
- Dress for the weather. The observatory is not heated and it can get chilly at night.
