Our auction is a great way to pick up a telescope, telescope equipment, and other great items for great nights under the stars. It includes gift baskets with night sky-themed children's books, certificates for local resorts under the stars, stargazing experiences, and more.
Star Party and Laser Tour
After the sun goes down, peek through one of a dozen or more telescopes to see the Moon, planets, nebulae, and other deep space objects.
