Are you planning a special event and looking to add a truly unique experience to the evening? Do you need a sensational, interactive and awe-inspiring activity that will really impress your guests? Deliver them the stars!
The astronomer observers at Urban Scopes are not only knowledgeable about the night sky, they also understand the importance of looking the part and setting the right tone. Is this a casual, social soiree where the focus is on fun, or a romantic affair where the stars set the stage for a certain question to be popped? Whatever the case, our services are specially tailored so that we add the kind of magic you envision for the evening. Be it a corporate event with hundreds of attendees or an intimate get-together for two, we will help you deliver an experience like no other.
Star Parties
Cultivate your love of space and host a party where stargazing takes center stage! We bring all the equipment, know-how and fun to treat you and your guests to an immersive astronomy lesson. Enjoy a guided tour of the night sky and peer through a variety of telescopes in your own backyard or public park. Watch your friends and family marvel at the moon, the planets and deep sky objects and smile knowingly that this will be a night they will not soon forget!
Tutorials & Mentoring
Getting into observing is wonderful, rewarding...and understandably daunting. But it doesn't have to be! Urban Scopes is dedicated to sharing our knowledge of the skies with anyone who is interested in learning.
Have you ever considered purchasing a telescope, but the options (and prices) left you confused and overwhelmed? Fear not! Our one-on-one consultation session is designed to arm you with the best possible information on tech so you can decide on the gear that's right for you (and your wallet).
Is there a telescope gathering dust in your basement and though you've longed to use it, you have no idea how or where to start? You are not alone! We come to you and provide hands-on training so you learn observing fundamentals, proper setup, troubleshooting your equipment so you're up and running through the cosmos in no time.
