Hello patrons, we are still here but due to the Covid 19 situation we are being very careful to keep you and us safe as possible. Call Dave and talk to me before planning a trip to Blue Moon Observatory. I will evaluate your request and advise you as to the safest way to proceed. Don't worry the Universe will still be here when all this is over and done...even if noneone is here to see it.
Welcome, welcome ! to the online presence of Blue Moon Observatory home of Mr Dave "The Starryteller"
Please visit often as we will be adding new content to help you and yours find your way into the night !
Dave has been sharing the nights for more than 30 years, going here and there from classes for all grades and ages under the planetarium sky at SPAR Planetarium in Shreveport, LA. to star parties under the night sky. After 13 years as Director of SPAR Planetarium. In 2003 we found a new home under the dark (Bortle 2)skies of Southeast Oklahoma, and Blue Moon Observatory was born. We have provided our wonderful brand of educational fun and dramatic outdoor programing from the Keys of Florida to the Eastern beaches of Northern Japan.
Blue Moon Observatory is your connection to the live night sky. We offer realtime outdoor stargazing, sky tours. Whether through our giant backyard telescopes or naked-eye laser guided romps across the night sky. Learn constellations and hear the wonderful myths that have made them an essential part of human history.
