Went for their star gazing party and the hosts were very knowledgable and were more than willing to share about what you can see. If you have a someone who wants to study the sky. Bring them, these guys may inspire more than you think

We had an amazing experience both times we went. Everyone is very kind and helpful. This picture was taken from inside the telescope on an evening with a full moon.

Enjoyed the lecture. Would like to come back when there are no clouds. It is a small observatory, but great, and the telescopes look fun.
