The Lake County Astronomical Society
is a group of people of all ages who are interested in the science of astronomy. While many are accomplished observers and astrophotographers, others are new to the hobby. LCAS tries to respond to all levels of interest. Various members own large telescopes, some of which they've built themselves from scratch. On the other hand, some members don't own any telescope at all, but simply enjoy observing the night sky with their unaided eyes.
LCAS meets on the third Friday of each month. The meetings are free and are open to the public.
Volo Bog COVID Policy
Just a reminder we are limited to 40 people at the Volo Bog Visitor Center. When we set up our meetings only 40 chairs will be put out.
Masks remain optional and it is recommended to maintain social distancing between people not in the same household.
If you aren’t feeling well or have flu-like symptoms we do ask you to remain home.
Thank you!
