Great star gazing night - It was a very clear night for the tour- our guides were very knowledgeable. Lazer pointer was a great way for them to show us specific constellations and other points of interest. Highlight for us was seeing ring around Saturn and stripes on Jupiter from the telescope!

We had the perfect night! - These guys were great. Incredibly knowledgeable and well prepared The main speaker was so knowledgeable and funny!
The only downside is when it’s cold it’s cold And the instructions for the Meetup and parking could be more clear.

Unforgettable! - Awesome!! You haven’t lived until you see the night sky as it truly is. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and interesting and they were able to answer all my questions. Their telescopes were amazing—imagine seeing Saturn and its moons in the sky instead of in a picture! Coming from our city’s light pollution to see the Sedona sky was a welcome, but this evening’s experience was absolutely over the top! My personal favorite was seeing the Pleiades, which is fitting for this time of year. Because the night sky is always changing, we will definitely be back!

In awe of our sky - We had a wonderful evening Stargazing! The astronomers were so informative and interesting and we learned so much! They had nice blankets because it was very chllly, which helped a great deal! A very nice, thoughtful touch! The high-powered telescopes were a perfect touch to the stargazing and really drove the whole purpose of our evening. Amazing information to be had and stars to see! Enjoyed it very much!

Stargazing in Sedona - Spectacular views of the stars and planets. Remote soccer field for viewings so pitch black. Equipment was top notch and guide very knowledgeable with interesting stories

Star Gazing was a NO SHOW - We drove 1/2 hour to the 9 pm meeting point in pitch black darkness through a very rural area. (very spooky though perfect for star gazing). No one from the company showed, so I checked my messages to see that 1-1/2 hrs before the experience was cancelled "due to weather". The skies were black, no rain, and while on vacation, I'm not checking emails every five minutes so it's a miracle I even looked at my emails. We drove back to our resort where they offer free star gazing through a large telescope. We saw Saturn and other planets and constellations. Puzzled about the weather cancellation. It was beautiful and warm. I think this company was unreliable and I was deeply disappointed. I had booked it two months prior and one of the activities I most anticipated in Sedona.

Cancelled last minute - I did not go because they canceled one hour before we were supposed to meet up.
The excuse was bad weather, but last night (October 26th) was beautiful, clear skies and full of stars.
I got a full refund, but I had only two nights in Sedona and could not schedule anything. Spent the night watching TV at the hotel and it was very upsetting.

waste of money and time - it sounds good but super disappointing. unless you want to hear about the greek mythology stories and watch them point to the stars to point it out, which was iffy at best and see thru a very small telescope. viewing saturn was pretty small compared to any other tours there that we heard about. binoculars were better. if your super interested in hearing about stars rather than experiencing seeing them well , you may like it
