Who We Are

We are a group of Santa Fe area residents who share a passion for observing the day and night sky, be it by naked eye, binocular, or telescope. We meet regularly to observe as a group, to share our passion with the lay public, and to increase our knowledge, understanding, and enjoyment of astronomy. We engage in advocacy for dark skies, so that all may enjoy the beauty of the heavens.

Observing

We get together regularly and spontaneously for dark sky observing using everything from the naked eye, to binoculars, to telescopes large and small. 

Meetings

We meet regularly to share and improve our knowledge and understanding of astronomy, and the art and craft of stargazing. 

In support of efforts to contain the spread of the covid-19 virus, our monthly SFS meetings will be held on-line until further notice. All continue to be welcome to join our on-line meetings. Details on how to join are on the Meetings web page.

The image hints at the power of the VST and OmegaCAM for surveying the extragalactic Universe and for mapping the low brightness objects of the galactic halo. This image is a composite created by combining exposures taken through three different filters. Light that passed through a near-infrared filter was coloured red, light in the red part of the spectrum is coloured green, and green light is coloured magenta.
