For over seventy-five years, the Denver Astronomical Society has brought together stargazers across the Denver metropolitan area and beyond. The society hosts dozens of events and activities yearly to promote amateur astronomy across our unique region, one mile nearer the stars.
The Denver Astronomical Society hosts weekly and monthly events* at the University of Denver’s historic Chamberlin Observatory, featuring its prized 1894 Alvan Clark-Saegmuller 20-inch refracting telescope. It serves as the DAS home base for numerous Public Nights, Open Houses, and special events throughout the year.
* Purchase tour tickets well in advance HERE, as we have limited space and sell out months in advance.
