Menke Scientific is owned by John Menke and Meg Menke.  We bring more than 45 years experience in science and amateur astronomy to your doorstep.  From 1991 to 2002, we provided observatory dome products to the astronomy community.  You knew us then as Technical Innovations, Inc., manufacturers of HOME-DOME® observatories.  After passing on that business to a new owner in 2002, we began teaching others how to become active astronomy researchers, and doing more research ourselsves.

Menke Scientific clients include individual astronomers and teachers who lead school-based astronomy programs.  We can assist you in improving your astronomy skills through hands-on training at your site or ours, or by email.  Click here to learn more about our services.

As part of his continuing work in astronomy, John is an active photometry researcher, sharing results in publications such as the Minor Planet Bulletin and at meetings of pro-am groups such the Society for Astronomical Science. We include links to selected research on this webpage -- see "Images and Studies" and "Asteroid Light Curves."
