Tombstone Sky
Astronomy Section

A lot has changed in Tombstone since the 1880's, but the night sky isn't one of them. The way the sky looks tonight is the same as it was on this same date way back then. And the Tombstone area, with its elevation, clear nights, and low humidity and pollution, can show you lots of stars. Some of you may spot the Milky Way for the first time in your life - although you may have to go a ways out of town to see it. Another thing that hasn't changed since the 1880's is the town's light-pollution code.

	Observatory - This page contains photos and a description of the Tombstone Sky Observatory. It also has information on the tours that I offer.
	Learning Astronomy - To help promote and encourage amateur astronomy, I've developed this section. It will lead you on how to get started in amateur astronomy - either "backyard" (visual) or "armchair" (the science).
	Sky Forecasts - These are graphics which forecast the sky condition in Tombstone up to one week.
	More Stuff - Miscellaneous astronomy topics that just made this page too cluttered.
