This is the second incarnation of
Astronomy Gal's website. The
first began in the 90's on
Geocities as one of their free
sites and was done in raw html
on Notepad. When Geocities
became Yahoo, I went with their
Hosting for my site.

Interpretive, Fun and Educational Space programs for everyone.
Offering group or individualized tours of the Florida Night Sky. I can bring an assortment of professional level Astronomical
telescopes along with me to make your next gathering or function a unique and out of this world event! We cover all of Florida.
- Explore a different Florida with an Astronomer as your guide to our ever changing evening skies.
- Discover Deep Space through an assortment of large telescopes and giant binoculars.
- Amaze guests at your next gathering by showing them the stormy multi-colored bands of the giant planet Jupiter. The
polar caps of mars, our moon's cratered face. Or the lovely delicate-looking structure of Saturn's rings. Things that can
be difficult to see without traveling to an observatory. I bring the equipment to you!
What types of things can you observe?
Galaxies, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Comets, Planets,
the Moon, - a Universe of fascinating things, very ancient
and very far away.
The best part is, you will get to see where they are in the sky and how they are located using some very sophisticated, and
some not so sophisticated equipment all made available to you during your observing session. You'll get a taste of what it's
like to work out under the sky looking for "faint fuzzies." My programs consist of original presentations that can be followed
by observations through a variety of equipment depending on what we are looking for. (It's kinda like fishing.) I can travel to
your dark sky site, or to one of my own. Your residence or other facility.
Programs are tailored to meet the needs of schools and home school. I work with teachers and curriculum. I can instruct
astronomy programs at your facility. All I need is a classroom or access to a meeting room. I am self contained and mobile.
Imagine having an observational astronomy program at your school or Summer Camp!
In addition to having your students read about astronomical
objects, the moon or planets, Galaxies.. Why not have them
actually observe them through a large telescope ?
