You get to enjoy dark skies, tons of stars, a great telescope and Alex orchestrating a wonderful show. We saw Saturn and it's moons, Uranus, star clusters, the ring nebula and and even 2 colliding galaxies (which was the highlight for me)! Alex does a great job making sure that everyone in the group (10 people on our night) gets their chance at the scope. He also provides very interesting commentary throughout the evening. I'm an astronomy nut and really enjoyed it - and my wife (who obliged me but was on the fence about attending) had a great time and said it was way better than she imagined.

Listening to Alex was like listening to Carl Sagon or Neil De Grass Tyson!!! He can paint amazinwg images in your mind as you as listen to his narrative that remind you of Cosmos. He also is eager to field any questions you might have for him. The best money my husband and I spent on our vacation. His vast knowledge of the area is astounding. If you seek more than just scraping the surface of what Moab presents, book one of Alex's presentations!

Redrock astronomy did a great job with the tour. Alex was a great guide, very informative and entertaining. We have done this twice now, I do like the location north of town better than the location south of town. There was less traffic going by at the north location.

The night weather was perfect, an appreciated cooling from the July day heat. The moon wasn't set to rise for several hours, so the sky was getting darker by the minute.Alex was weaving his stories while the night's darkness and silence applied his voice. My entire family enjoyed the experience. I particularly remember Alex talking of Native Rock Art with a second sun recording an event nearly a thousand years earlier.I recommend this experience

Seeing the dark skies of Utah is amazing..adding a little bit of information makes it super amazing...my biggest beef is that the location was just off a road with lots of cars and too much "viewing" of less interesting stuff...still it was fun

We weren't sure what to expect, but were thrilled with the experience. Our guide gave us the history of Astronomy and explained how telescopes worked. We viewed many wonderful sights both with and without the telescopes. Alex was patient and made sure everyone participated.

We took the astronomy tour with Alex, it was very good, right combination of interesting facts about the cosmos and looking at interesting objects through his telescope.Would recommend this as something different to do in Moab.

Best show in Moab. Alex walks you through many of the sights in the night sky and does it with expertise and knowledge of someone who is devoted to viewing the stars. Don't miss this opportunity to increase your knowledge of the night sky and have a very enjoyable time doing so. A must activity for Moab.

I welcome when someone makes a comment such as this every few years as it give me an opportunity to explain what type of program I offer.My program is intended for all age groups as educational, but also designed to be entertaining as well. It is oriented towards folks that want to go past the everyday constellation type program that is available free at many National/State Parks and planetariums. My program is primarily telescope viewing with question & answer discussion on objects we are viewing and other guest generated astronomy subjects. We view a number of different objects, usually the best ones available to us in the sky at the time, i.e., clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and whatever planets are up at the time. At times, some of these objects can be faint, depending on conditions, and it does takes some night vision and telescope adaptation to see these things well sometimes!I do show at least one constellation and explain how it is differently named and understood by different cultures. I also explain that these are different for the Native tribes in our area. Only THESE things cannot be discussed in depth as tribal traditions we respect require. This guest obviously was looking for a different sort of experience/trip. At times, guests call about the program having heard of an astronomy program in Moab but may not have had the time to research my website and/or ask questions about the type of program I offer. It seems that these folks were expecting a constellation-pointing type program and for that sort of activity, I highly recommend guests check out what the National/State Parks offer, or enjoy one of the many wonderful night viewing spots located in our area!

Alex provides the chairs, blankets, and telescope....we just enjoyed a spectacular view of the skies and a knowledgable presentation by Alex. If clouds roll in, he is willing to adjust the charges or change your night. Very easy to work with!
