What makes the "Stellar Explorers" activity unique is its group-friendly approach, allowing up to 4 people to rent and share a telescope. We provide all necessary equipment, including a 6" Dobsonian telescope and a cell phone with specialized software for accurate and quick celestial navigation. Follow along with a local expert stargazing guide as the software directs you to various celestial targets, or explore at your own pace. Depending on the time of year, enjoy unique viewing opportunities of Saturn's rings, star clusters, galaxies, and bright nebulae. This activity is perfect for all ages and skill levels, creating an unforgettable stargazing experience.
