The San Juan Stargazers Astronomy Club will be hosting two deep sky viewing nights, on Friday, April 14, and Friday, April 21, both at our Meadows East location. Call (720) 626-9304 for directions.
These are both very important viewing nights to practice using our club telescopes and to get your own telescope working well before we put on two night sky programs each month of the summer, starting on May 19 with a Stars and Galaxies Program that includes telescope viewing from the Chimney Rock upper parking lot.
Also in April, the Chimney Rock Interpretive Association is offering a two-day training session, on April 28 and April 29. On April 29 we actually visit the site for a special tour. We encourage our Stargazers to attend at least one or both days of training so we all know more about our fabulous location. Lunch is provided both days. Please RSVP at the Chimney Rock Office, (970) 731-7133, to verify the timing.
When you are a Stargazer and work at the night sky programs you actually also become a Chimney Rock volunteer and after 20 hours of volunteering, you can attend Chimney Rock events without cost. Stargazer members can, of course, attend all of our events with no cost.
