Durango Skies Observatory Solutions

For the casual stargazer to the serious astronomer, Durango Skies specializes in home and professional observatory solutions for astronomy enthusiasts. We provide observatory project management services — from determining observatory and equipment through sales, installation, and hands-on training. With our knowledge and expertise in this highly specialized field, we can advise you on your observatory site, dome or roll-off roof selection, and telescope equipment. We are an authorized dealer for quality observatories, telescopes, mounts and piers, and our team works closely with manufacturers and vendors to schedule and coordinate delivery dates for your observatory project according to your construction timeline. We provide supervision and guidance of your crew to properly assemble the dome and install the electronic components, and then thoroughly test all aspects of dome operation. We also install the pier, mount and telescope, and test the completed system. We can also test the dome's automation software and its integration with your telescope system. We offer personalized on-site training that includes how to operate and maintain your dome, and how to use your telescope and accessories, including astrophotography equipment.
