The Moon and planets, from your own terrace.

What you'll see

The sky changes with the date and the hour. Before you confirm, we tell you exactly what will be up on your night.

These pictures show more detail than the eye sees. Through the eyepiece, each object is smaller and subtler, and it is the real thing.

• 

  The Moon

  Craters, mountain ranges and long shadows, sharp enough to feel close.

• 

  Saturn

  A pale globe with its rings around it, seen with your own eyes.

• 

  Jupiter

  Cloud bands across the disc, with its four large moons lined up beside it.

• 

  Stars and clusters

  On darker nights: star clusters, coloured double stars and glowing clouds such as the Orion Nebula.

How a session works

1. Click on Book now

   Tell us your area and how many of you there are. We suggest nights when the Moon or a bright planet is well placed.

2. Pick your night

   We agree a date and time together and confirm what you'll see. Payment is taken in advance.

3. We come to you

   We arrive with the telescope, set it up on your terrace and guide you through the sky for an hour.

What you need

• An open terrace or garden with a clear view of the sky.
• A way up. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift, because the telescope is large.
• Nothing else. We bring the telescope, the eyepieces and everything the session needs.

Good to know

Private

Only you and the people you invite. Sessions are planned for two, and more can join on request.

One hour at the eyepiece

Setting up and packing away happen outside your hour.

Late-evening sessions

Sessions run from 10 pm onwards, when the sky is darker and the city is quieter.

Cloudy nights

If clouds hide the sky, we move your session to another night at no extra charge.

Recorded for safety

Sessions are video recorded, openly, for the safety of guests and our team.

Please do not touch the telescope or any of our equipment. The instruments are delicate and precisely aligned, so we handle them for you and you simply look through the eyepiece. Children must stay beside a parent or guardian throughout. If the equipment is handled, we may end the session.
