Welcome to Sky Safari Event Services. We offer a selection of professional telescopic stargazing, celestial imaging, and NASA mission speaker possibilities for your corporate gathering. We also have instruments for daytime observations of the sun, with meteorites and other rare rock exhibits for additional group engagement options.

With over 3,000 corporate events served since 1996, our goals are simple:

• To share a rare experience with your guests; one that they will remember and talk about for years.

• To be punctual and the least of your scheduling worries on the day of your busy event.

• To make you shine like a supernova for your client.

Guests gasp in disbelief and struggle to find words when seeing the rings of Saturn. Click audio bar below for four minutes of fun.

Our Services:

Stargazing

The oldest of the sciences is Astronomy because since ancient times the sky has been a source of spectacle, inspiration and discussion. Let one of our experienced astronomers share these wonders at your next event using a portable observatory of superior optical quality. This unique, memorable and sometimes emotional experience will not soon be forgotten.

Celestial Imaging

While impossible only a few years ago, new imaging technology permits deep sky astrophotography in brightly lit situations using a portable imager that we can share at your event. Guests can take the pictures themselves and keep them as souvenirs to remember the evening and share as digital media.

Guest Speaking

Sky Safari owner Dr. James Ashley was a Campaign Implementation Lead on the Mars Helicopter, the Deputy Science Operations Coordinator for the InSight Mars mission, and held titles on several additional NASA missions. He has consulted for several Discovery Channel and History Channel programs, and is available to present an engaging program at your next event. Please inquire to discuss.

Meteorite Exhibit

Meteorites are fascinating rocks that are usually seen only in museums. We own a fine collection that has been requested for exhibit at our events on occasion. We make this available as an add-on service for the Southern California region.

Solar Observing

The sun is often overlooked as an astronomical object, but is of course our closest star and a source of fascinating observation at a daytime event. We have several solar telescopes that permit this type of service when of interest to your guests.

What will be in the sky during your event? Please text, call or email for a free consultation.
