The first season
Repeated nights turn a launch plan into a working operation.
Ongoing support
Help with the decisions that do not become routine overnight.
Support can focus on astronomy-specific judgment, guide development, weather decisions and periodic review without inserting an outside operator into every booking or program night.
Weather and guest decisions
Use a consistent approach to cloud, smoke, moonlight and changing conditions, with clear communication for guests and staff.
