Prairie Dark Sky Society

About the Society

Founded by a handful of hobbyists with two telescopes and a folding table, the Society now has over 200 members.

Our mission

We make the night sky easy to enjoy and hard to lose. That means teaching, lending equipment, and measuring light pollution so local decisions use real data.
