A night viewing and learning - If you love the science behind astronomy, this is the tour for you! Chris could teach a PhD level course on the universe he us so knowledgeable. He has amazing telescopes, and one projected onto a screen for better viewing. We saw stars, constellations, galaxies and planets, including the rings on Saturn! His location was easy to find and he did a great job for us, including providing us blankets on a cold Sedona night in January. It was a great experience for us Chicago people seeing a sky full of stars that we never see at home.

We booked this because... - We booked this because it’s been decades since we’ve seen so many stars, and the trip didn’t disappoint in that account. The spot was perfect and easy to find, and the night sky really shone. Chris was amazing and so full of knowledge. He gave us some amazing information and was great at making sure we could find the objects we were looking for. He had two telescopes and both were amazing. He also was thoughtful enough to provide chairs and huge blankets which made the winter trip a lot easier to deal with. We will absolutely book with Night Owl again when we come back.

Night Owl Tours is Awesome! - Chris did a fantastic tour for just the two of us. I am just learning about astronomy and astrophotography and being with Chris was absolutely an educational experience. He is off-scale knowledgeable about all aspects of astronomy including the photography aspect. I only wish we could do the tour several more times! It was that good! Thank you Chris!

A Great Night Star Gazing - The night we went there was a chill in the air. Chairs were set up and each with a heavy blanket. The viewing spot, though out of the way, provided a very dark sky. The presentation was excellent and every question was answered when it was asked; usually with the answer in two form the quick easy answered followed by a scientific answer. It was clear that this presentation and equipment were the hosts and he took great pride in what he was doing.

Perfect way to view the Sedona sky - Really enjoyed this tour! We chose this over others because it was a small group (max size of 12, we were lucky having just 3 total). We also appreciated that the event was also located outside of town with panoramic viewing. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and shared so many details about the night sky, both with his massive telescope and with live photos he took and presented in 4K. He had chairs and warm blankets ready to go and was extremely patient with questions.

Two thumbs up, fun night sky experience - Near perfect experience, Chris the might owl is great and 4d screen is a super cool feature. Might be nice to have a few telescope options, but, I understand it might be a lot for one operator to manage.
