The Front Range Astronomy Community is made up of amateur astronomers along and around the Front Range of Colorado and southern Wyoming. While many of our members belong to the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society (NoCoAstro), Longmont Astronomical Society (LAS), Boulder Astronomy and Space Society (BASS), The Little Thompson Observatory (LTO), Denver Astronomical Society (DAS), Cheyenne Astronomical Society (CAS), and other clubs & organizations around the Front Range, membership in one or more of these clubs is not required to be part of FRAC.

Members of the FRAC group communicate with each other on topics such as:

• Special astronomy events
• Locations and times of dark sky observing gatherings
• Observing tips and techniques
• Sharing astrophotos taken by members
• Equipment recommendations and troubleshooting
• DIY projects
• Astronomy history
• …And Much More

The FRAC was originally created (March 1999) and conceived by Archer Sully with the charter:

“…It is a list for observers in the area.
The idea is to promote cross-club observing sessions and communication.”

Note that FRAC is a mailing list, not a club. If you are located in or near the Front Range, you can request to join the FRAC list by clicking the link below.

The list is hosted by Google Groups. While you can be subscribed to FRAC from a variety of domains (yahoo, gmail, me, etc.) if you wish to see FRAC’s archive, you will need to subscribe to FRAC using a gmail account. You can then read the archives here:
