The Racine Astronomical Society promotes interest in astronomy among amateurs and the Racine area public. The Modine-Benstead Observatory includes two domed observatories as part of the facility. The main building includes a 16-inch telescope, an observation deck, library, and meeting room. The smaller domed building houses a 14-inch telescope.
The public is invited to view the heavens through their telescopes during public night open houses that are held monthly, April through October. Depending on what is up each night, you will view the moon, planets, and many deep sky objects.
