 |
We do public star parties from spring to fall once a month. We also do private star parties as part of our outreach program.Schools and other organizations ask us to present information about astronomy and/or demonstrate and make available our telescopes. The most notable of these were our Cheyenne Mountain Zoo series.
Don’t forget to read our Star Party Etiquette page before attending a star party. Thanks! We look forward to seeing you! |
