Star Parties and Telescope Services

Private Star Parties

A star party is a guided stargazing experience where people gather under the night sky to explore the wonders of the universe through telescopes and expert insights.

Whether you're looking to gaze at the rings of Saturn, the craters of the Moon, distant galaxies, or dazzling star clusters, a star party brings the cosmos within reach—no experience necessary.

Unlike large public astronomy events, a private star party offers a more intimate, personalized experience for your group. I bring high-quality telescopes and deep knowledge of the night sky directly to your location, making it easy to host an unforgettable evening.

I have programs designed for all ages, experience levels, and light pollution settings, including inner city!

Whether it is a group as small as a single family, or an entire scout troop, I'm prepared to meet your needs.
