About Santa Fe Stargazers:
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 for the night sky with the lay public, and to increase our knowledge, understanding, and enjoyment of astronomy. As we keep promoting amateur astronomy in our region, we also engage in advocacy for dark skies, so that all may enjoy the beauty of the heavens. Visit Santa Fe Stargazers
Also, download your preferred star map to your smart phone before you arrive to identify planets and constellations in the night sky. (Examples: Stellarium, Sky Tonight, Star Tracker, etc.)
