The 9-inch refractor telescope is operated by volunteers from the Peoria Astronomical Society. Donations are welcome, but there is no admission fee. Often members will have their own telescopes set up too, so visitors can see a variety of telescopes and sights. Peoria Astronomical Society has been facilitating public viewing at Northmoor for over 50 years!

So stop by the Northmoor Observatory this summer to get a glimpse of the other worlds in our Solar System! Peoria Astronomical Society meetings are also open and welcome to the public. The next meeting will be the first Wednesday of October in 2016.
You can learn about space and science everyday at the Dome Planetarium at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for daily updates!
