Guided by a seasoned Analog-Astronaut and a professional Astro-Photographer, we are the only stargazing firm that purposely avoids the moon’s brightness and meticulously chooses our times and locations to provide you with the best possible stargazing experience.
Our tour is split into three segments:
Opening Segment:
Your guide will highlight different stars, galaxies and constellations using a high-power green laser pointer, while sharing stories and experiences from their time as an Analog-Astronaut, among other things.
Middle Segment:
Experience the live intricacies of the cosmos via a high-tech, light-sensitive camera attached to a telescope. This will allow you stunning views of celestial bodies such as nebulae and galaxies that you might not have thought possible.
Closing Segment:
Your Astro-Photographer will capture a few impressive snaps of you with the Milky Way as your backdrop.
All standard resolution photos that are taken during our venture are included in the cost.
Options for upgrading to high-resolution images are readily available.
The location of the stargazing changes nightly based on factors like cloud cover and crowd levels. Typically, we set up at the peaks of Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa, selecting whichever spot provides the most favorable conditions.
