Whether its summer public observing nights, cub scout pack or any other special event or activity, The Lima Astronomical society strives to provide fun and informative programs for our visitors. The LAS provides these activities through the generous, voluntary efforts of its members who comprise the entire staff of Schoonover Observatory.

Schoonover Observatory is owned by the City of Lima and is managed by The Lima Astronomical Society. Although the City of Lima provides for utilities and maintenance, all equipment, supplies and materials are supplied by the LAS and are paid for membership dues and your generous donations.
