Our club just did a visit to Yerkes and got a special tour of the observatory, complete with observing session through the 41 inch reflector (not the 40 inch refractor). Do it while you can - the future of this historic astronomical facility is somewhat in doubt. Our guide and telescope operator were *great* and it is well worth the time and expense.
