Observe With Us!
We want to share with you our passion for observing the night sky. During the spring, summer, and early fall we host “Star Gazes” for the general public, with guided tours of the night sky and the opportunity to look through some of the Stargazer’s telescopes at some of the skies best seasonal offerings. Check back often for notices of new events!
Keeping Outreach Safe and Fun
Outreach should be fun; outreach should be safe. To meet these goals the Santa Fe Stargazers have developed a set of best practices for SFS docents, and guidelines for members of the public attending SFS outreach events.
