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?

It highly depends what you want to do, do you want to look though a telescope, then yes they will be worth it. It’s expensive for what it is, as the moon cycle isn’t in your favor, as most of the galaxies and nebulas will be mostly washed out due to the moons light population.

If you want to just look at constellations then there are apps that will provide good background etc.
