Who We Are
Welcome to our stargazing haven! We’re a tight-knit group of astronomy enthusiasts, brought together by a shared passion for exploring the night sky and sharing its wonders with others.
With a diverse collection of telescopes — both large and small — we enjoy uncovering the beauty and mystery of the universe, from the craters of the Moon to distant galaxies scattered across the cosmos.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to ignite curiosity and foster a love of astronomy in everyone we meet.
Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or someone looking through a telescope for the very first time, we believe the night sky should be accessible to all. Through public events, private gatherings, and educational outreach, we open our telescopes to anyone who wishes to explore the universe.
What We Do
We host public star parties, support community events, and participate in outreach programs designed to introduce people of all ages to astronomy. Our focus is hands-on, welcoming, and inclusive — no prior experience required.
We believe some of the most meaningful moments in astronomy happen when someone sees Saturn’s rings or the Moon’s surface for the first time and quietly says, “Wow.”
Our Philosophy
We are inspired by the tradition of sidewalk astronomy — the idea that astronomy is best shared, not hidden away. The true value of a telescope isn’t measured by its size or complexity, but by how many people get the chance to look through it.
We don’t charge for our events, and we’re not a nonprofit organization. Everything we do is driven by a simple desire to share the night sky and preserve its beauty for future generations.
If you’re curious about the universe, you already belong here.
