Description

The Fox Park Observatory is back! This group was created to keep any interested person updated with the latest programs and events involving the Fox Park Observatory near Potterville, MI. All kinds of astronomy talk is permitted as well as postings regarding observing, imaging, and public events. The main purpose of the group is to coordinate events at the observatory as well as public outreach around the Lansing area.

Our equipment includes a 16" LX200 "Classic", two 12" LX200 "Classics", two portable 10" Dobsonians, and various other equipment provided by both the Park's Department and our two main volunteers Jason Blaschka and Kevin Keyes. Come out and join us on a public night or for one of our more serious observing/imaging sessions!

For more information, to set up a private tour or to schedule an outreach event, please call the Eaton County Parks Department at (517) 627-7351 or Fox Park Observatory at (517) 645-MOON.
