Sierra la Rana Astronomy Village

Observatory Tract

Would you like to have your own observatory just an hour away from the McDonald Observatory under the clear, dark, and starry skies of West Texas? Would you like your observatory to be in a protected location, where you'll never have to worry about security or a neighbor putting up a light? Would you like to have easy road access to your observatory, just a short trip from the small university town of Alpine that "gets it" when it comes to light pollution control? Would you like to have neighbors and colleagues who are also astronomers, providing you with an opportunity for collaborative astroimaging and research? Would you like your observatory to be at 5,100 ft. elevation with an unabstructred view of the southern sky and further south than all of Arizona and New Mexico?
