Mauna Kea Stargazing Experience + Photos

Description

Led by an Analog-Astronaut and Pro Astro-Photographer, we are the only stargazing company that avoids the bright moon and hand-selects time slots for optimal stargazing views.

The tour comes in 3 parts:

First:

Your guide will point out celestial objects and constellations with a powerful green laser pointer, talk about his time as an Analog-Astronaut, ancient Polynesian navigation and more.

Second:

View live details of deep space using the most sophisticated, light-sensitive camera/scope out of any company in Hawaii. Look at epic views of deep space objects like Galaxies and Nebulas that you didn't know was possible.

Third:

Your Astro-Photographer guide will take a few stellar photos of you with the Milky Way in different poses.

All medium resolution photos taken throughout the trip are included in the price.

-Photos in the description are taken by James.

-High Resolution upgrades are available.
