Colorado Skies - Gunnison Valley Observatory

OUR MISSION:

The Gunnison Valley Observatory will create viable, sustainable and unique opportunities in Astronomy and Science Education for local, regional and national educators, from primary school through graduate studies as well as a destination business in recreation, economic development, and world wide web remote control viewing at the Gunnison Valley Observatory.

OUR VISION:

The Gunnison Valley Observatory intends to be a leader in the field of astronomy research and education in Colorado. We want all prospective visitors to know that we are an organization that focuses exclusively on education and research and that we also serve it better than any other organization in the state of Colorado.

We want to be thought of as an organization that offers highly personalized service. Our goal is not necessarily to be the largest organization in our field, but instead the organization that really cares about the unique, individual needs of each of its visitors.

We will be known for cutting edge of technology in our industry.

In addition to the telescope itself, the observatory will be an example of environmentally sustainable design and landscaping technologies.
