Sedona Stargazing Tours LLC

Our trip out to see the stars was muted by the moon. We went out on August 3rd. When we got there we walked out to the telescopes and chairs with blankets in case we got cold. I think it was still 100 degrees out! The coyotes were screaming and our guides told us they were happy as they were eating but it felt close by. While I was expecting to see the milky way I understand the moon was in the way making the stars less vibrant. We did get to see 'shooting stars' and satellites. We got to hear about the constellations and a ton of Greek mythology that came from my childhood looking at stars with a flashlight and a book. Hearing about Andromeda, Perseus, Cassiopeia, the big dipper and the north star. We got to see several stars through the telescope. The guides knew the information and you can tell they enjoy what they do. The grand finale was seeing the moon through the telescope. As it was almost 3/4 full it was incredibly bright. But on the rim of the crater it really looked like the handle of a tea cup. It was so cool. I am sad we are now home very far way from Sedona and not able to experience the night sky and the persied meteor showers. It was an enjoyable evening with my husband and walk down memory lane of star gazing as a child. Will seek them out again if we visit again and prey for no moon!
