The Telescopes: 

24" diameter f4.5 Computerized Dobsonian

How come I'm not smiling?

Using a large aperture (24" dia. mirror, 10 foot tall) telescope, a Night Sky Adventures(tm) Interpretive astronomy tour shows the natural grandeur of the universe as you can only see with your own eyes.  A 24" dia. mirror captures 10,000X more light from faint objects than the unaided eye.

My unique approach to astronomy brings you the universe in real time, this is not a domed light show. No observatory buildings, funky laser show (well maybe a little) or pre-recorded narration gets in the way of the pure enjoyment of the universe. (sometimes I do put on "star" music)

By using such a large telescope, the human eye can see wonders that only a long exposure photograph could capture not so long ago. The 24" reflector alone is impressive even without looking through the eyepiece.

Most guests are surprised at the amount of detail and sheer lushness of objects in the night sky. Night Sky Adventures(tm) is truly a memorable experience.

The telescope is fully transportable and has even been set up on rooftop decks (some help required), snow, the bottom of a sink hole, middle of a KOA, parking lots, service roads and on a mountaintop.

 Other Telescopes are used for Night Sky Adventures and Solar System Safaris including a 6 inch Dobsonian, a Celestron Nexstar C5 and a Coronado Filters P.S.T. Personal Solar Telescope.
