We’re taking our stargazing tours online!
We are Stargaze Tahoe, offering unique stargazing tours in the Lake Tahoe area that blend astronomy, mythology, and stargazing.
With current events keeping us from hosting our tours in person, we decided to bring them to you instead by offering a virtual guided stargazing experience you can do anywhere with a good view of the night sky!
How does it work?
After signing up, we’ll send you an email invite with a link to join our meeting in Zoom, a free online meeting platform. There’s no account needed, no need to download or install anything, and you can join on your computer, tablet, or phone.
When it’s time for the tour, follow the link to join the Zoom meeting, settle in, and look up while we show you how to find the major constellations, tell the stories associated with them, and talk about what’s going on in the night sky this month. It’s like having your own knowledgeable guide sitting next to you, showing you around the night sky.
These tours are a great activity to do with the family, for date night, or just on your own.
Tours are led by Stargaze Tahoe’s Ashlen Clemens, who has been leading engaging and educational tours in the Lake Tahoe area for the past 3 years.
What do I need?
The only equipment you’ll need is a device with an internet connection to join the Zoom meeting, and a good view of the night sky.
Where can I do it?
While we’re hosting the tours from Northern California, you can do this from anywhere in the continental U.S, although the perspective will slightly change if you are very far north or south of us. The darker skies you have, the better.
Have your own binoculars or telescope?
We’ll give you a list of some must-see night sky objects to check out and explore this month.
Weather didn’t cooperate the night of the tour? Or can’t attend the Zoom meeting?
No problem. We will email you a recording of the Zoom meeting so you can participate when it’s convenient for you. The content will remain relevant for a few weeks.
Our goal, as always, is to provide you with a unique experience where we can come together to learn more and connect with the natural world around us.
We’re starting these new tours with an introductory price of only $9.99.
