The list at left gives the names of some of the supporters of the Dark Sky Observatory.

Scientific research, education and public outreach activities are expensive. We have enjoyed the support of many donors--private and corporate--as well as support from foundations.

Please consider supporting our work with a donation.

The DSO logo (at the top of this page) was designed by ASU Graphic Arts major and Astronomy minor Christy Lennox.

Donations may be made by sending a check made out to "ASU Foundation - Friends of the Observatory." Donations may be mailed to: ASU Foundation, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC 28608. The ASU Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt foundation and thus your donation is deductible.
