"The Red Chilena de Astronomi­a" (RChA, Chilean Astronomy Network), an internet association of amateur astronomy groups in Chile, recently added a "Sidewalk Astronomy" section to their website. Some of the Chilean amateur groups have been doing sidewalk astronomy for a long time, and several of the youngest ones are beginning to take their telescopes out to the street too. As most of the RChA members are already committed to public service astronomy through school programs and other forms of community outreach, sidewalk astronomy is a natural addition to their activities.

The address for the Sidewalk Astronomy section of the RChA's website is www.rcha.cl/espanol/observacion/sidewalk/index.php and at least one of the individual clubs has added sidewalk astronomy to their section of the RChA website at http://www.rcha.cl/espanol/observacion/sidewalk/rastro.php.
