Meet Your Instructor and Equipment
This program is led by a team of seasoned astrophysicists and educators, many of whom have backgrounds at NASA and decades of experience in public outreach and dark sky advocacy. Our Astronomy Docent specializes in making complex science accessible and engaging. Our sessions blend humor, history, and hands-on learning—making the stars feel closer than ever.
We’ve got you covered with stellar gear: a Celestron and Unistellar eVscope 2 telescope that auto-tracks celestial goodies, and Vortex Optics binoculars for crystal-clear views. Each guest also has a pair of Celestron Outland X Binoculars to view the sky from their pod and a handheld Celestron Astro Night Vision Flashlight to move around safely.
Everything’s desert-ready, with red-light headlamps to keep your night vision sharp and cushy mats for lounging under the cosmos.
Note: Not all objects are visible every night.
