Star Safari monthly

Every month, on a particular date, the Travelling Telescope is hosting a Star Safari, a tour of the night sky. It is a one-night camping trip under the stars with astronomers and telescopes that will enable you to look at the different wonders of the cosmos: planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies and so much more. Take a chance to operate a telescope to locate these objects and learn about them. You can even come with your own telescope.

We are partnering with Bunduz Camp to provide this experience.

Night Sky Observations

Throughout the year different objects are visible in the evening skies. Planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus can be viewed through the telescope. They can either be in the evening sky, morning sky or not visible depending on the month of the year.

There are also the deep sky objects such as the birthplace of stars (Orion nebula, Trifid nebula…), stellar remnants (Helix nebula, Crab nebula…), star clusters (47 Tucana, Pleiades…) and galaxies (Pinwheel galaxy, Andromeda galaxy…) that can be seen through the telescope. These views are quite spectacular.
