Many people have promised themselves the chance to do some astronomy but not known how to go about it.
Now all you have to do is book a stay at Les Granges and, as well as having a great daytime holiday, you can let Olly take you on a tour of the universe.

From our exceptionally dark site and far from light and air pollution you will see planets, nebulae, stars and distant galaxies using the best of modern equipment. We also offer the chance to do sophisticated astronomical photography.
See our astro-imaging page. No prior experience is necessary.
 
Already an astronomer?
You can book Les Granges with or without our equipment since we have four 'guest telescope' sites all set up.  You can use our equipment or bring your own instruments to run on our mounts. Contact Olly to discuss the possibilities. 
From Latitude 44.19N we have full astronomical darkness even in June and a brilliant view of the southern Milky Way with its fascinating range of deep-sky objects.
 
We can also offer a taught course in astronomy over five two-hour 'classroom' sessions. This provides an introductory over-view of  current astronomical theories regarding distance, time, stellar birth and death and the origins and fate of the Universe.
 
In his review for Astronomy Now magazine, Dr Alan Longstaff concluded, 'There can be few better places to do astronomy than with Olly Penrice at Les Granges.' 

Equipment:
Olly on the FSQ;  ''So impressed was I by FSQs brought here by their owners that I felt compelled to buy one for Les Granges. So here it is, ready and waiting for you. The sharpness of the optics across a wide field and, even more impressive, the exquisite colour fidelity, will bring your pictures as close to the full beauty of the night sky as is currently possible. These instruments do merit their reputation... and price!''
