It was an amazing evening. The guides were informative and entertaining. They made it so easy uncomfortable. We saw some beautiful sights.

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.

2 weeks in CA desert & This was our final adventure with our party of 8 (two 56 year olds & 6 twenty something’s) - and it was unarguably the most memorable moments we had ..”highly recommended!” - be sure to head the warnings of “dress warm” & no cell service other than that ..an absolute gem of a guide on an A+ experience (nothing strenuous at all for those not too agile -all flat ground walks

This is an amazing stargazing experience! They thought of everything that made the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - the set up included comfortable lounging yogibos to lay on, blankets and hand warmers to keep warm, hot drinks and snacks, binoculars to look more closely at the planets and stars, and the best part - telescopes to see nebulas, Jupiter's surface, Saturn and its rings, and even the Andromeda galaxy! It was guided by an astronomer and documented by a photographer. It was truly a worthwhile experience, not to be missed!

One of the most magical and awe-inspiring experiences my team and I have ever had. Matt and Chris were incredibly knowledgeable and creative in how they explained the universe, making everything feel accessible and inspiring. We even saw a very bright shooting star! I’ve already recommended this experience to family and friends and would absolutely do it again.
