 Our NEXT Road Show...

Badlands Astronomy Festival 2018
July 6-8

More by the amazing Astrophotographer, Randy Halverson at www.Dakotalapse.com
See the Dark Rangers for FREE (with the purchase of entrance fee / park pass) at the Badlands Astronomy Festival!

When our observatory already offers the best stargazing in North America, why would we pack up our BIG scopes and   go anywhere else? Because, it's the BADLANDS!

Since, its inception in 2012, this has been our favorite  astro-event. Where else can you see  the Milky Way, an epic thunderstorm,  AND the  Aurora, all in the same night? We know it's definitely worth the 2000-mile trip... even if it might be a little bit farther for you.
