Astronomical Society of Nevada Looking up since 1934 Sign in Join the society

Photographs

Taken by members of the society, mostly on nights we were all out together. Northern Nevada has some of the darkest skies in the country, and this is what they look like through our telescopes.

With thanks to Dave Radosovich and Jay Lawson.

Many of these came to us by email after a star party, and we do not always know who took which photograph. If one of these is yours, please tell us — we would like to put your name under it.
