In 2003, Dave Miller's wife, Paula, told him that he couldn't spend any more money on telescopes,
mounts, and accessories until he could find a way to make money from his astronomy hobby.
In November of 2005, Durango Skies Telescope and Binocular was launched in Durango, Colorado.
Why Durango, Colorado? Because, nestled in the San Juan Mountains at 6,512 feet, it is blessed
with incredible dark skies. It's also a great place to live, work and play. Durango was once a
Wild West mining town and is now a popular tourist destination for skiing, mountain biking,
river rafting, kayaking and the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Mesa Verde
National Park is located just 36 miles to the west.
An avid telescope shopper for many years, Dave was always frustrated by the limited knowledge
at most telescope stores on the components needed for a complete system. How can you piggyback
a refractor on your existing SCT if you don't know what adapter plates are needed? So at
Durango Skies we have extensive knowledge of telescopes, mounts, adapters and observatories for your
complete system.
Clear Skies!
Dave and Paula Miller, Owners
