You will also be shown how to set up a telescope correctly before viewing and then photographing some of the magnificent sights in the night sky.

   This is the ideal gift for that person in your family that has recently made the purchase of a telescope but would appreciate some personalized guidance in how to navigate the vast heavens.

This session is our most popular educational package. A professional astronomer will spend 2.5 - 3 hours with you at your home and using your own equipment Instruction will include an initial consultation, setup of the scope, aligning the scope with the heavens, and a very complete stargazing session.

Once you have made your reservation for this session you will be contacted directly by a member of our staff who will arrange a mutually convenient time and date for your instructional session. One important note to remember: Due to the difficulties imposed by mother nature at times it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment more than once. Our staff will make every attempt to be highly flexible in securing a date and time that will allow your experience to be maximized! Remember, we not only need a night free of precipitation but also one that is free of cloud cover!

Note: Travel to your home is limited to a 25 mile radius of our location. Stargazing that requires travel at longer distances will incur a $75 per hour travel time charge.

"Hi Jeff,

...Dan was able to help me finally successfully align my telescope with Wi-Fi last night!

I just wanted to tell you how important it was to have Dan’s expertise. Without it, I am not sure I would have been able to make the Wi-Fi alignment work.

Dan’s enthusiasm, expertise and eagerness to help has been the inspiration that has kept me going despite repeated frustrating experiences in the past.

I am looking forward to many fascinating nights of star gazing and to meeting Dan for his group astronomy sessions in the future."
