The Neville Public Museum Astronomical Society
Our monthly meetings are held at the Neville Public Museum on the second Wednesday of each month, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Topics are balanced to appeal to both beginner and advanced amateur astronomers alike. Monthly meetings include videos, slide shows, lectures, reviews of upcoming celestial events, group projects and much more. Members are also encouraged to share their astronomical experiences, new or old! Meetings are free, and are open to the public of all ages; those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult (museum rule).
The Neville Public Museum Astronomical Society (N.P.M.A.S.) was founded in May of 1966 here in beautiful Green Bay, Wisconsin. We have since grown from a small group of about 10 people to today's 100 plus members. Our monthly club meetings have an average attendance of 40 to 50 people, nearly half the club!
Each club member has their own interests. Some like looking at the planets, while others enjoy the challenge of deep sky observing. Some members like telescope making and mirror grinding, while others are into astrophotography and CCD imaging. Whatever your interest in astronomy, there is probably someone else just like you in the club that is more than willing to share his or her stories and information.
Our Mission Statement: We the N.P.M.A.S. are a fellowship of amateur astronomers. We join together to share learning's, experiences, and the passion we have for astronomy. We nurture and promote this interest through our activities. The foundation of our endeavors is the enjoyment we share.
