Enhance your Telescope Tour with add-ons
What could be better than an educational and entertaining night under dark sky with hands-on access to BIG telescopes? Nothing we can think of. But we do have some ideas for making that kind of night even more memorable. Keep an eye out for Add-on options once you start the booking process for a Public Telescope Tours. and Private Telescope Tours.
Zero Gravity Chairs: Get the best seat(s) in our "house."
Pay an extra $10 and rent a Zero Gravity chair for the evening of your telescope tour. Enjoy the extra comfort during the multimedia presentation and then aim your chair at the sky for the ultimate naked-eye stargazing experience. With these deluxe lounge chairs you can fully recline as if floating above the ground -- with zero neck strain. Marvel at the Milky Way, which under our beautiful dark sky, extends from one horizon to the other, like a giant silver rainbow. Scan the sky for meteors, satellites, and even the flash-patterns of tumbling space junk. When paired with a quality astronomy smart phone app like Sky Safari and/or Heaven's Above, this experience can be as rewarding as the views you'll get from our BIG telescopes.
DON'T FORGET to also install a red-light mode app like Twilight on your phone so you can protect your night vision and those of our other guests. i-phone users: Go to Settings –> Accessibility –> Display and Text Size –> Color Filters Though ALWAYS more comfortable than our free chairs, during full Moon nights this add-on might not be worth it because the Milky Way will be so much fainter. NOTE: When our inventory of anti-gravity chairs runs out, we will refund those who were the last ones to make this request. |
