Would You Like a Passionate and Experienced Amateur Astronomer to bring his telescope and/or give Presentations? Then I’m your guy!

For local events, Orion Bear Astronomy is based out of and serves Southern California, particularly the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) as that is where I currently reside. In Terms of Deep Sky Presentations, those can be scheduled virtually anywhere the party wishes. I have traveled as far as Wyoming to view a Solar Eclipse, and as far as New Mexico for a sky presentation!

What Kind of Events Do I Offer?

Telescopes at Local Schools and School Events

Need something educational for your school event? Or do you need an experienced telescope user to show celestial objects, even if the sun is up?

I can also give presentations about science and astronomy, plus talk about observing the sky, the stars, planets, etc… I can also bring a huge collection of rocks and minerals.

Telescopes at Parties and Gatherings

Need a more “science based entertainment” for the children or even adults? Would you like a chance at looking at some celestial objects, even during the daytime? I have the equipment that can show the Sun safely, and as a bonus, find some other objects that may also be visible during the day!

Night time parties of course offer more things in the sky to check out! Even if we are located in a bright city sky, there will always be something we can check out… unless it’s cloudy!

Telescope and Sky Presentations Under the Deep Sky

Are you going to experience a darker sky away from the city lights, or do you want to experience it, but need a guide to show you constellations, and/or the best objects one can see through a telescope? Then you definitely want me there!

You can not only learn more about how to navigate the night sky, but you will also see what star clusters, double stars, nebulae, and even some galaxies look like with your eyes! Oh, and perhaps you might see the moon or a planet or two!

Griffith Observatory Tours

Why hire me to take you and your group on a tour of the grounds and museum? Well… I’m A LOT cheaper than official tourist companies who offer them!

Plus, because I also do work there as a telescope demonstrator, those who hire me may enjoy some perks that the other tourist companies cannot provide. You will be taken on a guide tour of the entire building, and learn a lot about the history, and the reasoning behind the iconic Los Angeles location. The science that we can go over is just the icing on the cake!

Plus, weather and time permitting, you might get a chance for a first look through our telescopes, including the historic one!

Prices can be negotiated upon inquiry…If you want to hire me, you may either email obastronomy@gmail.com, or you can reach me through social media!
