Share the Night Sky with the Public!
Become part of a historic Denver institution and learn to operate a 25-foot-long refractor telescope!

In partnership with the University of Denver, the Denver Astronomical Society (DAS) operates the historic Chamberlin Observatory about three nights a week. We rely on six dedicated volunteer teams—but we’re looking for a few more passionate individuals to join us, especially on Thursday and Saturday nights for our Astronomy Nights, Open Houses, and occasional special events.

What We’re Looking For:

• Must-have:

  • Reliability. Volunteers are expected to commit to their assigned team’s regular schedule, typically two nights per month.

  • MUST be a DAS member

• Nice-to-have:

  • 18 years or older

  • Able to provide your own transportation

  • Some mechanical aptitude

  • Basic astronomical knowledge

  • Comfortable speaking with the public

Don’t worry—we’ll teach you everything else you need to know!
