Borrego Night Sky Tours offer guided night sky excursions led by acclaimed astronomer Dennis Mammana, who has worked as a planetarium director and producer at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum and the Strasenburgh Planetarium. Mammana is a prominent author of astronomy books and manages the sStargazer syndicated astronomy newspaper column, one of only six members of the prestigious international The World At Night society. Today, he guides night sky tours throughout California's only International Dark Sky Community, with tours available throughout the year on select dates depending on astronomical conditions. Evening observation programs offer opportunities to use telescopes to observe the night sky, with more personal instructor interaction than standard observatory public star parties.
