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 a 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.
