Sherzer Observatory

Sherzer Observatory is an astronomical observatory located on the Eastern Michigan University campus. It is operated by Physics & Astronomy staff and student volunteers from the EMU Astronomy Club.

The observatory is open on clear Tuesday evenings from September through April (academic year), and at select times during spring/summer terms (May through August). They are also scheduled to open on clear Monday evenings after 7:30 p.m. (and perhaps occasional Thursday evenings later in the term) for the Winter 2017 term for lab observations. A quick check of the observatory phone may verify if they are observing on a particular evening. The observatory observes all university holidays and closures.
