The PACMO has a state-of-the-art telescope housed in an observatory
on wheels. PACMO contains a 12-inch computer controlled telescope
that once aligned on two stars, will find and track any object visible
in the sky. We envision the telescope being used at public observing
sessions around the Quad Cities and the bi-state area. Under the guidance
of club members, thousands more will experience Saturn's rings and the
dance of Jupiter's moons, watch sunspots come and go, look down on the
moon as if from lunar orbit, study comets and star clusters, and peer into
the cradles and deathbeds of stars.
For more information about PACMO and to request a PACMO vist for your group, please contact our
observatory director, Rusty Case. Be sure to include the
word PACMO in the subject field.
