Ira and Zeev were so enthusiastic about the sky and what we were seeing. It coincided with the rare convergence of Saturn and Jupiter so we spent a lot of time on this once in a lifetime event. Then we looked at different constellations and planets. They were very generous with their time. It is definitely a worthwhile evening event if you are in Mitzpe Ramon. I would do it again, but pick a night with less moon in the sky.…

I have been living in Israel for 45 years and on Nov.12, 2020 i met Ira the starman from Mitzpe Ramon with my children and grandkids a total of 12 of us and it was one of our most phenominal nights of our lives spent together. Ira and his partner Ziv opened up a new world of adventure in the solar system and beyond.From their organization of chairs to their telescopes we began a night that no one will forget.Even the grandkids were fascinated,. Ira and Ziv had patience for all.Without a doubt its a must !! Thank you for opening up our horizons and beyond. Jonny Kuritsky Shavei Zion.…

Ira and Ziv were amazing! Ira picked us up at the hotel, and stayed outside in the cold an extra hour so we could see the moon rising! We forgot to ask at the end of the tour to see the cooled meteor rocks, so we have to come back! My daughter and I found it more comfortable to lay on the ground to star gaze, and even though Ira had plenty of blanket to cushion the ground, I am bringing a yoga mat next time. It is worthwhile to go all the way to Mitspe Ramon JUST to go on Ira's star gazing tour!…
