The stargazing tour led by a Santa Barbara PhD student was a lot of fun. Even if you already do a lot of stargazing, it was great to not have to think about where to go and all the things you have to bring. They provided comfy chairs, cocoa/tea, red light headlamps and even had extra coats in case you get cold. Our guide Luke showed us a lot of celestial objects through the telescope, but the best part was the fun facts about the stars and the stories different cultures told about them. I highly recommend!
