We did the star gazing tour in May 2012. Earlier that evening, we were notified that the tour was being pushed back to later that night (I think 9:30 instead of 8:30). We had no problem finding the school parking lot where we met our guides. We walked as a group in the dark out to the site where there... More

My 84 year old mother and I signed up for this tour and were glad we did. We were staying at Enchantment which was a 40 minute drive from their remote viewing spot so plan ahead. Our guide formerly worked with NASA and was extemely knowledgeable. We had great telescope views of Jupiter on our night. Even though it was... More

Our resort offered a star-gazing option, but you can plan and do your own. The night skies are spectacular - especially for easterners and other urbanites where light-pollution degrades the gazing.

We had great views from our Lodge-Sky Ranch Lodge-watch out for some light pollution on the buildings.

Our group of 13 signed up for a star-gazing tour. Our guide, Matt, clearly knew his stuff and kept the information interesting and accessible. He had a fantastic presentation style and I learned a lot. He explained some of the basics, some history of the constellations and the significance of stars and planets, the stories behind thier names and other... More

I could only imagine what a new moon looks like. We were there during the last quarter and we still saw a brillant sky. The low city lights and high altitude help. Wind keeps everything nice and clear.

It was a chilly evening about 20 minutes south of Sedona where we met our resident astronomer, Nils. We were led across a grass field to where he had set up chairs with blankets next to his telescope. It was an enjoyable evening of Astronomy 101. As a teacher he had a 'way with words' and soon everyone was standing... More

My area and most of Sedona is so dark that you can hurt yourself without a flash light in hand. Once the zero gravity lounges are in place and you relax with your irises opening to the clear night sky, the Milky Way grows more complex and bright minute by minute.

It was expensive and uncomfortable. We couldn't see as much as my local college lets us see for free. Sit in a hot tub at night and look up, you will enjoy it more, especially if you are cold natured or frugal.
