More Information

Located in Kennebunk, Maine, the Astronomical Society of Northern New England (ASNNE) is an all-volunteer non-profit educational organization founded in 1982 to promote public awareness of astronomy. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced amateur astronomer, enjoyment and challenges await you as a member of or visitor to ASNNE and their observatory. Activities include teaching the basics of recognizing the constellations, observing the stars and planets with telescopes of all sizes, presenting monthly discussions on a wide variety of astronomy related topics, and organizing outings to special events. Starfield Observatory Starfield Observatory in Kennebunk, with its 16’ x 32’ roll-off roof design, now houses two large telescopes. One is an 8 f/15 Zeiss-Jena refractor and the other is a 16 Meade LX200 GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain. ASNNE encourages groups to contact them for presentations, observing sessions and slide shows. The group will design all programs to fit the particular group. These programs cost nothing and the speakers are not paid. However, all donations to ASNNE are welcomed. Over the years the observatory has hosted approximately 500 star parties for an estimated 25,000 children and adults.
