Additional Information

The club was formed in 1951 by a group of dedicated astronomers including Clyde Tombaugh, who had discovered Pluto just 21 years earlier. For 70 years, we've been sharing a little bit of the universe with our community under our beautiful Southern New Mexico skies.
The club has a variety of ongoing observing, education and public outreach programs. We host a public Moongaze each month, offer monthly dark sky observing at Leasburg Dam State Park, and support countless star parties and education programs for schools, scouts and various organizations. We hold a meeting each month which includes a featured presentation.
