FAQ

What do we do in the experience?

Clients call the experience 'Edu-tainment' because it is not a boring lecture, but rather guests have fun operating the telescope, while learning a few things about the universe. They will take fun photos with our mini-moon, and make fun of Uranus. Having done over 50 bookings in 3 years, we have a refined programme for a session so you don't need to worry if your guests will enjoy it or not - we will take care of that.

​

What equipment do you bring?

When you book us we bring a Celestron Nextstar 8SE telescope, a high power laser, a moon lamp and other fancy equipment. The value of all the equipment you'll get to use is R60,000., and it is insured.

​

​

What is the price for 2 people?

There is no 'per person' price. You can invite as many friends as you like and split the cost. But we recommend up to 8 for private sessions to let everyone have enough time to look.

​

What are the payment terms?

100% by EFT to secure the date. Free refund/postponement for any reason eg bad weather if no costs have been incurred (mainly applicable to events).

​

What time do we start?

In winter we can start at 5pm, in summer we can start at 7:30pm. We confirm with you depending on your booking.
