About this Event
Explore the cosmos with night sky enthusiasts, Kimber Moore and Tim Kendziorski, and their 20-inch Obsession reflector telescope – a top of the line expertly-crafted telescope with a very large aperture and very, very large, premium coated mirror. You would need to go to an observatory for a better view of the universe.
Only 10 spots available.
This program combines a small group with knowledgeable staff, professional equipment, and access to a restricted area of the park. Truly a unique experience not to be missed.
