An astronomical evening in the Arctic sky
Join Ulf Jonsson, a retired Swedish military officer and passionate amateur astronomer, on a truly unique and enlightening experience under the northern skies. At his small private observatory near Pine Bay Lodge, this three-hour tour offers an intimate and comprehensive insight into the wonders of the cosmos.
Your astronomical journey
The evening begins as you step into Ulf's personal observatory. Here you will find professional equipment with a variety of high-quality telescopes and binoculars. Ulf will be your personal guide to the night sky, pointing out and explaining various celestial bodies that are visible at the current time.
You'll have the chance to look through powerful telescopes to see planets, distant galaxies and nebulae in stunning detail. You can even try your hand at taking your own astronomical photos with a DSLR or mobile phone, with Ulf's guidance.
Beyond just looking, Ulf will share fascinating stories about the constellations, their history, and how different cultures – from the ancient Greeks to the indigenous Sami people – interpreted the same star patterns in their own unique ways.
And when the moon is visible, you can prepare for a special "moon tour." Ulf can navigate you across the moon's surface and show you its craters, mountain ranges, and even the sites of the famous moon landings.
The magic of the Northern Lights
If luck is on your side and the conditions are right, you may even witness the magnificent Northern Lights dancing across the sky. Ulf, with his vast experience as a photographer, will be on hand to provide tips and advice on how to photograph this spectacular phenomenon. You will also be given a simple checklist to ensure you take the best possible pictures.
This experience is available from October 1 to March 30 , starting at 7:00 PM . Please note that a minimum booking of two people is required.
This is more than just stargazing; it is a personal journey through the universe, guided by an expert who brings with him a lifetime of knowledge and passion.
