Founded in 2018, Mile High Astronomy is the new telescope and astronomy resource for Denver, Colorado, the Rocky Mountain region, and continental US. We are a new kind of telescope shop: One that puts the focus on creating amazing and engaging experiences that bring the universe and night sky to you!
Our Mission and Values
Fun - We believe in creating WOW moments! Forget what you learned in school – astronomy and science is fun and inspiring, and we want you to have fun on your journey of discovery!
Approachable - We want to make exploring the stars easy, and frustration free. All too often, you can't find the right guidance to get the right telescope for you. Our online buyers guide and staff of Night Sky Guides will set you on the right course to the telescope for you!
Meaningful Connections - We believe that when someone gets a glimpse of the cosmic perspective, they become more empathic. That empathy helps build a stronger and more inclusive community, both locally and globally. (Astronauts call this the Overview Effect.)
Inspiring Experiences - We choose to #OptUp, to look to the Moon, the Planets, and the Stars. We choose to imagine the what-ifs and the future adventurers that will reach out and touch distant worlds. We believe in creating future scientists and explorers by delivering a fun and engaging introduction to the universe, science, and discovery!
WHY BUY FROM US
Our Mission to Inspire - We hope you'll choose Mile High Astronomy because you relate to our mission and values.
We are Astronomers - Everyone at Mile High Astronomy is a Night Sky Guide: passionate about astronomy, and passionate about sharing those magical experiences that can only be found among the stars and planets!
Service and Trust - We will always deal honestly and transparently, and put our focus on delivering an out-of-this-world experience to everyone we work with.
Only Quality Products - You'll notice we don't offer all the telescopes that competitors do. That's because we have created a curated list of products that we know you'll be delighted with. If a scope doesn't meet our standards, it isn't in our catalog.
Recommended Products - A step beyond just a quality product, products marked as Staff Pick are the cream of the crop for their category and price.
We are Guides, not sales people - We mean it! Nobody here works on commission, and we aren't going to try to sell you anything you don't want. Our focus is to provide the gear and knowledge you need to have your own amazing experiences, because that's what good guides do!
Competitive Pricing - Our pricing is the same as our competitors, with products where it is applicable set at Manufacturer's Minimum Advertised Price (MAP).
Sales Tax - If you live in Colorado, every retailer is now responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax on any out of state purchases anyway, so save yourself the tax headache, and just buy local from other Colorado astronomers!
