Public Observation Events
During the warmer months (and even during the cold ones), the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society holds public observation nights. Emphasis is on actual observing with telescopes furnished by both NoCoAstro and the personal telescopes of our members. Our volunteers will show off celestial objects while describing the objects you are viewing.
​
Typical outreach events include: Telescope sky gazing, presentation on astronomy topic(s) of interest, or solar observing.
THANKS go to all the volunteers who generously share their time, expertise, and equipment with the public.
Private Observation Events
NCAS primarily supports organizations and events that are open to the general public. NCAS does NOT officially support for-profit events.
