Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association: Stargazing at Chiricahua National Monument

Join TAAA for an evening of stargazing to view amazing solar system and deep sky objects from a truly Dark Sky Park. You will see planets, nebulae, star clusters, double stars, galaxies millions of light years away, and lots more. We will have several telescopes for public viewing.

Observing location will be at the Faraway Ranch parking lot just past the entrance gate about 1/2 mile.  Please try to use red light flashlights and minimize white light (to include cell phones) that will hinder your night vision.
