Telescopic Views of Saturn, venus, Mars and the Moon as well as constellation naked eye views. We had approximately 15 people in our group and had plenty of viewing time. Matt was our host/educator. His presentation was both enlightening and entertaining. I would have guessed that he was a full-time educator. The Sedona night sky was perfect for this activity.... More

Our guide Charlie was so enthusiastic, educational and helpful. They took care of everything and we had such an interesting evening. Definitely worth doing if you are interested even a tiny bit in the night sky. On the drive out, you may think you missed it, but keep going. The only sure way of knowing you went too far is... More

This was an amazing addition to our Sedona trip. We gathered on a ball field after dark, where they had chairs with blankets set up. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the stars and planets and viewing them through his large telescope was incredible! We really enjoyed it. More

Guides were very lovely and informative. Started with a quick look at Venus and then a naked eye review of the constellations. Then used the telescopes to focus in on a few feature finds. Saturn was definitely the winner! More

An adequate but over-priced event. The weather was perfect - no excuses allowable for poor gazing conditions. For $60.00 per person we expected better telescopes. David, our star expert was very knowledgeable and was excellent at finding the star and galaxy targets. He also, was careful to be ask if everyone had seen each of the featured items - no... More

This is a great activity for young and old alike. Our teens (15 and 17) loved it and my husband found it to... More
