Here's what we saw last night:

Please download some FREE digital keepsakes from your experience with us.

These are copyright free for your personal (non-commercial) use. Post them on your social media. You could print them and put them on the refrigerator for house guests to notice, when they make a late night raid on the leftover pizza.   

These are the astronomical things we saw last night!

Dark Ranger Seth "The Late Night Guy" snaped these images with 15-30 seconds exposures from his cell phone and an inexpensive digi-scope adapter. Yes, he's talented, and his patience are conducive, but he'll be the first to tell you it's mostly about the size and optical quality of our telescopes.  Cell-phone astrophotography lessons are a new add-on we are offering for Dark Ranger Late Night session and or Small Private Telescope Tours. Is the reason enough to book another night with us? Seth might not always be available to be your guide, but he's taught the rest of us some of his skill too.

Of course we also sell (starting at the low-low price of a $.50 postcard) professional astrophotography created from our same BIG telescopes. Instead of single snap these image were created by painstaking compiling hours of imagery using professional cameras by Dark Rangers: Thomas, Richard, and Liam. 

In the meantime we hope you enjoy and can make good use of these.

While we are always grateful for the increased exposure that favorable social media reviews provide, our goal is not to exceed your expectation, but to increase your expectations for your NEXT stargazing experience, whether it is returning for another night with us, or somebody else. To that end, don't forget to tell us what your favorite part was.

Negative feedback is the other half of the social media social contract. Just realize that if need to convince us we broke our own rules (i.e. as written in an email confirmation or elsewhere), partial or even full refunds are easier to issue to the owner of an email already in our booking system, than an social media alias. 


You are also welcome to share advice as to what you think we should do differently. Don't be surprised if we are more responsive to suggestions about doing some more than doing something less. This is because well established business seldom reach their level of success by abandoning the very defining characteristics of their business model that allowed them to rise above. Imagine the counterfactual. If we had set out doing less of what made us famous you might not have found us, right?​
