Welcome to NoCoAstro!

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the science of astronomy and coordinating activities for amateur astronomers and anyone who appreciates the wonders of the night sky. Explore our website to learn more about our club and upcoming stargazing events. We always have something new and exciting planned for you!

• We host public outreach events at dark sky locations just far enough away from the city to avoid light pollution but close enough for easy access such as; Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, Bobcat Ridge Natural Area, Lory State Park, Fossil Creek Reservoir, Rocky Mountain National Park and more. 

• Nighttime isn't the only time for astronomy. We also have solar outreach events where you get a chance to safely look at sun spots and solar flares (actually referred to as prominences) at locations such as the Fort Collins Museum Of Discovery and the Fort Collins Public Library.

• At all of our outreach events you'll have the opportunity to look through a variety of telescopes operated by our club members. Feel free to ask questions and bring the whole family. See our Calendar for a complete schedule.

• We also have professional astronomers speak at our monthly meetings in the Otterbox Digital Dome Theater in the Fort Collins Museum Of Discovery on the first Thursday of every month and you're invited!
