A unique stargazing experience in the Eastern Sierra

Enjoy amazing views of the Eastern Sierra and Owens Valley before a night of stargazing through a huge 14” telescope, hot tubbin’ under the Milky Way, chillin’ in the stargazer lounge, getting featured in the Milky Way photo booth, and SHIFTPOD accommodations at the Eastern Sierra Observatory — located just east of Bishop.

The view from the community kitchen is good

Not only will you be able to see star clusters, nebulae, and far away galaxies through the ‘scope, but if you’re into photography, then you’ll also have the opportunity to put your DSLR or mirrorless camera on the telescope and capture some deep space objects.

You’ll also want to gather up for a pic in our Milky Way photo booth. Strike a pose while we capture the moment and give you a digital copy of the print to take with you.

After you’ve stargazed, soaked, and taken in all of the amenities, you’ll love settling into your spacey SHIFTPOD with memory foam cots for the night.

Enjoy your stay in a SHIFTPOD

In the morning, you’ll enjoy fruit, local donuts, and delicious, local Black Sheep coffee. Your stargazing experience will be completed, leaving you cosmically energized until the next.
