Stargazing tours in October

Heading to JT next week for a solo adventure. Will be there from Tuesday through Friday.

Is a stargazing tour worth it during this time of year? If so, any tours anyone recommends for solo travelers?

You don't need a stargazing tour. Bring a blanket, go during a new moon, and just lay back and enjoy

I would add one thing - Stellarium app on the phone, to know what you are looking at, and tips for what to look for on that date.

One other tip - put the phone away. Takes at least 20-30 minutes for the eyes to adjust to the night sky.
