About the Northwest Suburban Astronomers:

We are a group of amateur astronomers from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, with a wide range of interests and experience. Our current membership is around 130 people. Members range in experience from beginners and casual stargazers to experienced telescope makers and astrophotographers. Meetings are held once a month on the Friday closest to the full moon, at Blackhawk Recreational Center, which is located on Higgins Road about one mile west of the intersection of Golf and Higgins Roads, in Hoffman Estates. Meetings normally start at 7:30pm. Non-members are always welcome to attend our meetings.

We offer a number of services for members. We have a number of observing sites with dark skies for use of members only, but we also host public observing sessions at these sites. Club telescopes are available for rental, as well as slide sets for programs and presentations. A monthly Newsletter, the Celestial Log, contains information on upcoming meetings and observing sessions, and articles by members. The Northwest Suburban Astronomers are a chartered non-for-profit organization in the State of Illinois.
