点评:My wife booked this for our wedding anniversary as something different.
Arrived early and very glad that we did, because we were treated to a spectacular show of the Northern Lights, like we had never seen before.
It was a very clear October evening and quite cold, glad that we brought extra layers, though we should probably have brought more, although blankets are provided.
We listened to an interesting and engaging talk from Alex and slide show of the night sky and learned some very interesting facts, then split into two groups, one group used the telescopes on the driveway outside and the other viewed interesting objects like Saturn through a larger auto-tracking telescope, before swapping over. There was ample opportunity and time within each group to use and view through the telescope’s.
Tom and Alex were passionate about there subject and patient at answering our questions as well as being helpful at pointing things out, and giving some top tips to photograph the night sky.
Would definitely recommend this experience, just wrap up with warm layers.

我们提前到达,真庆幸如此,因为我们观赏到了一场极为壮观的北极光秀,这是我们从未见过的景象。
那是一个秋高气爽且相当寒冷的夜晚,幸好我们带了额外的衣物,不过其实本应该带更多的——虽然活动方也提供了毛毯。我们聆听了亚历克斯富有趣味的精彩演讲,还观看了关于夜空的幻灯片,从中学到了许多非常有趣的知识。随后我们分成两组:一组在屋外的车道上使用望远镜观测,另一组则通过一台较大的自动跟踪望远镜观测土星等有趣的天体,之后两组互相交换。在每个小组中,大家都有充足的机会和时间来使用望远镜进行观测。汤姆和亚历克斯对自己所擅长的领域充满热情,他们耐心地回答了我们的问题,还热心地为我们指点迷津,并传授了一些拍摄夜空的实用技巧。
我绝对推荐这次体验——只需多穿几层保暖衣物即可。
