equipment & accommodation rates

Here at New Mexico Skies, we strive to offer you an out-of-this-world astronomical experience with a price tag that's refreshingly down-to-earth. Equipment rental expenses are determined on a per-night basis, while instruction and assistance are billed on an hourly basis. Accommodations are priced per-night, and, although we do charge a two-night minimum, we're sure you'll want to stay for even longer once you get a taste of the New Mexico Skies experience. Additionally, we request an advance deposit of one night's equipment and accommodation costs to confirm your reservation. If, for some unfortunate reason, it becomes necessary for you to cancel a reservation, you will be given a full refund less a 15 percent processing fee, until 30 days prior to your arrival.
