    Southern Hemisphere Observing Trips

    I am in Michigan, USA and have been wanting to do a southern hemisphere trip for a while. Has anyone been on a stargazing trip to either Chile or Namibia? Those are the two places I'd like to go and need info on where/how to book a trip. Ideally, it would be a site that is specialized in astronomy and has a telescope available for viewing. Thanks.

    Ernie,

    You should really consider the Oz Sky Star Safari in Coonabarabran Australia. It's exactly what you're looking for.
