Astronomy

And the sky reveals its secrets ...

Initiation evening

Being an astronomical educator for many years, I realized that very few people have already observed the sky in a real telescope. Just seeing the lunar craters in detail, the satellites of Jupiter or the rings of Saturn gives the visitors a memory they never forget, indeed they observe, IN TRUE, other worlds located just above of their heads ...
These evenings are included and free with all stays in lodging or rooms of hosts in the Refuge aux étoiles if the weather allows it.

This includes:
-The visit of our observatory.
-The telescope observation of visible stars during the early evening, planets, deep sky objects (function of the time of year)

Duration: 30 minutes

Private evening "Let's dive into the stars"

Do you want to experience a real night of unforgettable astronomical observation?
The evening "Let's dive into the stars" is for you.

On the program:
The evening begins with a presentation of our astronomical observatory and equipment (telescope, telescope ....) that we will use to observe the sky.
A historical and contemporary aspect is discussed.
Then we continue by wondering about the orientation in space, the situation of the Earth in relation to the celestial vault.
We dive into the sky to discover the constellations and their associated myths.

We can then see luminous spots points that do not seem to be stars, they are planets; we watch them with an impressive 400mm telescope to reveal their details.
An apochromatic telescope of 130 mm will be useful to observe nebulae and other clusters of our Milky Way.
We will go so far as to scan other galaxies close to our Milky Way.
We wander in the sky for 2 to 3 hours, responding to the various questions about the cosmos in which we are immersed.
Take time to observe and ask question, your private evening is only for you.

Prices for your private night:
100 € from 1 to 10 people,
160 € from 11 to 20 people,
Open to all.
