CLUB INFORMATION |

If you are just starting out in Astronomy and would like to learn your way
around the night sky or a seasoned amateur astronomer who's interested in
sharing your observing experiences and skills, you are sure to find friends
within the Panhandle Astronomy Club.
Club observing sessions are held monthly (weather permitting) at a local dark sky site or at one of the private observatories owned by club members. The location of our observing sessions are usually determined at the monthly meet and greet event held on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Community Room (basement) of the Gering Public Library. A variety of public events including Astronomy Day, Public Star Parties and Outreach Events are held throughout the year to foster awareness of and promote the science of astronomy. Check out our club events page for upcoming events and additional information. The annual Western Nebraska Star Gaze provides dark skies supplemented by daytime clinics and children's activities. Our laid back atmosphere allows plenty of time for fellow astronomers to exchange ideas, share experiences and help one another. |
