Overview

Our guides are experienced and knowledgeable and will take you on a journey through the night sky. Learn to find north and the location of our seasonal triangles, constellations and planets. Using high-powered laser pointers, we will provide you an entertaining and scholastic experience, with stories about ancient civilizations, Greek mythology, and the evolution of the Cosmos.

Our telescopes are operated with a keypad and are as easy to use as sending a text. Telescopes are pre-programmed with our object list for the night. Pressing one button on the keypad moves the telescope to the next object.

We regularly view the following types and classes of objects: Galaxies, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Double and Binary Stars, Planets, Earth’s Moon, Globular Clusters, Comets, and more. Depending on timing, the International Space Station (ISS) and Starlink trains can be seen passing overhead.

What to expect

Moab
2h

Stargazing Moab is pleased to host you, family, and friends for an entertaining evening of stargazing and astronomy under the internationally certified dark skies of Moab, UT.

Starting with a short walk through a scale model of our solar system, our guides will familiarize you with our neighboring planets as astronomical twilight begins to set. Each guest lounges in their own zero gravity pod with a blanket and pair of binoculars. These pods conform to your body, eliminating pressure points to make it comfortable and easy to view the star-filled sky.

Our astronomy guides will present a 2-hour program that includes state-of-the-art telescopes and laser pointers to guide you around the constellations and objects of the night sky. We also provide guests an up-close view of celestial objects (galaxies, nebulae, clusters) through our powerful telescopes.

Hot beverages are provided as well, such as hot chocolate, coffee and tea.
