The Popular Astronomy Club is presenting a public astronomy observing program hosted by the Illiniwek Campground. Telescopes will be set up by sunset about 8:40pm with observing beginning after 9:00pm.

Black Hawk Hiking Club members are invited to attend a sunset hike at Illiniwek, starting from the campground at 8:25pm to the overlook, and returning about a half hour after sunset to the campground for astronomy viewing. The public is invited to participate in both the sunset hike and the astronomy program. The viewing will continue as long as visitors are present, or until about 11:30pm.
