Lots of fun; we learned a lot about the stars.
A passionate guide and a beautiful starry sky, although there was one telescope for ten people.
Stargazing was a very exciting experience. We saw a binary system, the Andromeda galaxy, and Saturn with our own eyes, and the Moon craters were very beautiful too! The instructor spoke really clearly and kept things super interesting! Thank you for the opportunity!
The star gazing experience was excellent. The guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic. It would have been nice if we had time to request a look through the telescope at a star or galaxy of our choice. Personally I did not enjoy the lengthy astrology discourse. It would have been sufficient to point out the signs of the zodiac. We brought friends who wanted to see the Milky Way and they were delighted by the visit.
