Illinois Adventure #1708 Northmoor Observatory
Illinois Adventure take you to the Northmoor Observatory. The Northmoor Observatory is located within the city of Peoria at the Leo Donovan Golf Course, and houses a 9 inch refractor telescope. The telescope was one of two built in 1913 for the Illinois Watch Company of Springfield, Illinois. The nine-inch flint-forward lens was ground by Petitdidier, the same optician who ground lenses for Dr. A.A. Michelson's famous experiment to determine the speed of light. The telescope body was manufactured by Gaertner Scientific of Chicago, Illinois. The telescope was purchased by Bradley University, but put away and never used. It was later rediscovered sitting under bleachers in Huff Gym in the old Field House on the Bradley campus. In 1955, it was reassembled at the Northmoor site where it still stands. The observatory underwent a major renovation in 2009, and a new rotating dome was installed in place of the original rusted dome. Northmoor Observatory is open to the public every cloudless Saturday night from the beginning of May through the end of October. You will find volunteers on hand to aid you in your discovery of the cosmos, from sunset until midnight. Private groups can also be scheduled any other time. Contact the Northmoor Observatory chairman for more information.

A financial export is a financial service provided by a domestic firm (regardless of ownership) to a foreign firm or individual. While financial services such as banking, insurance and investment management are often seen as a domestic service, an increasing proportion of financial services are now being handled abroad, in other financial centres, for a variety of reasons. Some smaller financial centres, such as Bermuda, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands, lack sufficient size for a domestic financial services sector and have developed a role providing services to non-residents as offshore financial centres. The increasing competitiveness of financial services has meant that some countries, such as Japan, which were self-sufficient have increasingly imported financial services.

MTSU Classical Observatory
Welcome to the MTSU Classical Observatory. The observatory is here to educate students as well as the public about the wonders of our solar system and the beauty of the night sky.
For students taking Astronomy classes, the Classical Observatory is perfect for them to learn the basics of astronomy and to be able to observe the sky around us so that they may gain the skills to graduate with a degree in Physics or Astronomy. They can then go on to get PhDs or teaching degrees to do important scientific research and educate the next generation of great scientists.
For the public, on the first Friday of every month, we have lectures and seminars, as well as a chance to see how the Observatory works for those who may be curious about our solar system and our universe, and want to learn more. At MTSU, we feel that science education is extremely important; not only for our students, but for everyone.
The Classical Observatory is located on campus, rather than an isolated location, so that it may be more easily accessible and safe for everyone to enjoy. This helps to make it easier to spread the word about Astronomy and reach as many people as possible.
The Observatory features a fully-integrated 16 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a CCV camera that pushes the images to two flat-screen plasma displays. The images are then sent to the internet, allowing a person to control the operation from virtually anywhere. We also have a solar telescope that can be used to observe the sun, as well as several portable telescopes that can be equipped with solar filters as well.
We hope that our Classical Observatory will help spread the word about Physics and Astronomy to promote greater scientific literacy among students and the general public alike.
If you would like to learn more about MTSU’s Classical Observatory, or astronomy in general, join us at one of our First Friday Star Parties. They are held on the first Friday of every month at 6:30 in the Wiser-Patten Science Building, Room 102 at MTSU.
Thank you for your interest in MTSU’s Classical Observatory and for watching this video. We hope you found this informative and would love to see or hear from you soon.

Illinois Adventure #1706 Barkhausen Wetland Center
The Wetlands Center was completed in November 2004, and is a high-quality destination point that fosters natural resources appreciation and education, while interpreting the unique natural and cultural history of the Cache River Wetlands. Located south of Whitehill on Illinois Route 37, the center is named for Henry N. Barkhausen, who served as Director for the Illinois Department of Conservation from 1970-73 and for 18 years, served as Secretary of the Citizens Committee to Save the Cache River. He worked to encourage government agencies, organizations and residents to protect and restore the natural character of the Cache Wetlands. The Cache River basin is home to one of this state's most biologically diverse areas. A good starting place for visitors is the Barkhausen Wetland Center in Cypress which gives an overview of the region, nearby sights, and activities available. The Cache River Wetlands Center, owned and operated by Illinois Department of Natural Resources, is supported by the Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge and The Nature Conservancy. Here, visitors may acquire information on agency partners, recreation opportunities, and habitat restoration work currently underway. Visitors are invited to explore the unique cultural and natural history of the Cache River watershed along a timeline in the exhibits. This timeline is full of fascinating artifact exhibits, has a video screen with five perspectives of the Cache watershed, and audio sticks with local oral history. A twelve-minute orientation video gives a good overview of the cultural and natural history of the watershed, explaining the unique biodiversity of the flora and fauna that live here. Visitors may acquaint themselves with the local flora and fauna through an interactive diorama of a wetland, two interactive touch screens featuring images of the Cache and migratory birds, state champion tree information, and changing landscape displays. The Center grounds offer a 2,600 foot handicap accessible hiking trail which has a wildlife viewing mound overlooking a reestablished wetland along the old bed of Cypress Creek. Animals, their tracks, and other signs are prevalent in this habitat. Your explorations of the Cache River Wetlands Center will help the local natural areas seem more alive. Please, ask the knowledgeable Cache River or other Joint Venture staff for information on hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, and canoeing opportunities in the area! The Cache River Wetlands Center is also the beginning or the terminus of a bike ride or walk on the Tunnel Hill State Trail, which extends 48 miles to Harrisburg, Illinois, and is part of the Rails to Trails system. A trip to the Tunnel Hill office/visitors center will add color to your biking experience with the culture, history, and the distant sound of a train whistle as you bike over the changing landscape with swamps, upland hills, train trestles, and a tunnel built in 1872.

Illinois Adventure #1504 Villa Kathrine Castle
Just south of Warsaw on the Mississippi there stands a Moorish castle. Inside, ornate wooden lattice work twists shadows up the walls of a narrow stairway. Railings, doors, windows, ceilings, all are beautifully carved. It is as if you stepped into a rich merchant's home in northern Africa but there is no furniture. George Metz, rich playboy and world traveler of the late 1800s, built the castle for his sweetheart, who died before its completion. Rumor also has it that Metz buried his pet dog Bingo with a big cache of gold somewhere on the property. Numerous attempts to exhume Bingo have proved fruitless.
