Stargazing at the Ranch/Night Sky Network

Warner Springs Ranch is situated in a high mountain valley (elevation 3200 feet) that enjoys incredible "dark sky" conditions for stargazing much of the year. Amateur astronomers can utilize special viewing site with their telescopes. Warner Springs Ranch is also part of a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs bringing the science, technology and inspiration of NASA's missions to the general public. This coalition, called The Night Sky Network, shares their time and telescopes to provide the public with unique astronomy experiences under the real night sky and in classrooms. The WSR Night Sky group has special events scheduled throughout the year. The world famous Palomar Observatory, operated by Caltech, is less than 10 miles from the Ranch and attracts many experts in the field of astronomy to our valley.
