Beautiful surroundings, Jay was incredibly knowledgeable about the cosmos. We learned so much and every bit of it was just fascinating. They do a great job of making you comfortable with the beanbag recliners and blankets. Loved every minute!

Our guides are experienced and knowledgeable and will take you on a journey through our sky. Learn to find north and the location of our seasonal triangles, constellations and planets. Using high-powered laser pointers, we will provide you an entertaining and scholastic experience, with stories about ancient civilizations, Greek mythology, and the evolution of the Cosmos. Our telescopes are operated with a keypad and are as easy to use as sending a text. Telescopes are pre-programmed with our object list for the night. Pressing one button on the keypad moves the telescope to the next object. We regularly view the following types and classes of objects: Galaxies, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Double and Binary Stars, Planets, Earth’s Moon, Globular Clusters, Comets, and more. Depending on timing, the International Space Station (ISS) and Starlink trains can be seen passing overhead.

From start to finish this tour was engaging and well done. The ratio of participants to tour guides made the evening seamless. They had multiple high magnifying telescopes that they set up on different sites so we could wander around and look at the views multiple times if we wished. The blankets were welcome and warm even though I thought I dressed warm enough….ha! (A knit hat is a good idea) The presentation was engaging and well presented so those of us who can barely remember the names of the planets could follow along. The hard part was rolling off the bed like a beached whale when I needed to get up, (I wish I had a video of that LOL.) They send pictures of the telescope views and a few of the group to you the next day to remember your night. HIghly recommend this memorable evening!

Astronomy is about so much more than naming stars. It is our common humanity writ large across the sky. Listen closely and you will hear humility. See with open eyes and you will understand why.

So amazing. I dont want to spoil it for anyone but wow. Now only if I saw a shooting star, I’d be over the moon. Next time. It’s cold in Feb so dress warm

This was very well done - it was super interesting, kept moving along with new and cool information as well as 6 different telescopes to enjoy different looks into space. It did get chilly - the lounge bean bags with blankets helped so much as did the hot beverages. They even had a step stool for short me when I needed a boost to look through the telescope lens - brilliant! Highly recommend - done very well.
