• Sedona - Experience a guided tour to a remote dark sky location, far from the city lights of Sedona. Here, telescopes will be set up to take you on an extraordinary cosmic adventure!

A guide will use a laser to outline constellations and highlight fascinating objects such as the Milky Way, planets, meteor showers, or passing satellites. Following this, a variety of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters will be showcased through the telescopes.

This tour goes beyond traditional astronomy experiences by not restricting views to direct eyepiece observation. The telescopes are equipped with advanced astronomy cameras that capture live video of faint celestial objects, streaming the footage to a 4k OLED TV. This allows everyone to enjoy the stunning views in vibrant color and detail simultaneously. All celestial images in the gallery were captured by these telescopes and reflect what participants will see.

This activity merges direct observation with astrophotography. At the conclusion of the tour, participants will have the opportunity to save their favorite images from the video astronomy session as keepsakes.

• State-of-the-art observatory class telescopes
• Exclusive access to dark sky sites on USFS managed forest land and private ranches
• Digital downloads of all astrophotography images captured during your tour
• Small group sizes (up to twelve), ensuring a personal and intimate experience
• Real-time camera assisted observation of celestial objects

• Tea and coffee
• Snacks
