What to expect
You'll begin indoors with a brief overview of what the night holds, then head onto the terrace to start scanning. Your guide uses a laser pointer to navigate the sky, naming stars, planets and deep-sky objects as they come into view. Time is split between naked-eye observation and telescope work—expect to spend 15–20 minutes on each major object so your eyes adjust properly. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a tick-box tour. Weather permitting, the Milky Way cuts across the sky in striking detail here, far clearer than from light-polluted regions.
Good to know
Bring warm layers—altitude and night chill catch people out. Arrange your own transport to the site. The terrace is fully accessible for wheelchair users. Children are welcome, though patience helps; very young ones may find sitting still through the session challenging.
