The Sky and Telescope Chile 2011 tour was a very pleasant tour, a good combination of a close look at state of the art technology, real life evening observation and a taste of local experience. Our group was an ulitimate gathering of enthusiasts sharing a lot of fun in astronomy and traveling together. I can, and will, certainly recommend this tour to anyone sharing this same kind of passion.

Thanks a lot for your effort and making this happen.

Kind regards,

Alex

P.S. Please give my compliments and regards to Lisa because she may have done lot of work for this tour. As people may tend to forget her, while working in the office and not being part of the tour.

So little problems for such a great trip.

25" is the biggest telescope I have ever looked through, and the view was amazing. So was the view through my Very Large (and heavy!) Binoculars: in Sagittarius, I couldn't find any field of view that didn't include at least one globular or galactic cluster! Paranal had to be the highlight, and I hope I live long enough to see the E-ELT!!!

The best was the group. Nice and educated people. Ornan and Gary always trying to do the best. Tololo and El Pange were fantastic. Elqui valley was also great...
