What if I want to cancel the reservation?

As astronomy lovers, we understand that unfavorable weather conditions may make astronomical observation impossible. If that happens and you want to change the date of your visit, no problem. We look for an available date that fits you and the change is made at no cost.

For other cases, unforeseen events occur and we know, so in e-EyE we offer you the possibility to cancel up to 7 days before the date of arrival by returning the total amount you have advanced.

If you give us less than 7 days notice, we will refund 75% of the reservation.

If you do not appear on the day of booking and you have not informed us, you lose the total amount of the booking.

What if it is cloudy and I have paid for astronomical observation?

If despite the average of 250 – 270 clear nights that we enjoy in this region, it happens that the weather conditions were not favorable, of course we will refund the money of the astronomical observation that you have booked.

In e-EyE we are passionate about astronomy, and our desire is to share our hobby.

OBSERVATION AT FIRST SIGHT. FREE and only for clients who stay two nights. We located the activity in the Rose of the stars where we have more sky. We show you the most important constellations of the time of the year we are (there is a different sky in each season), we tell you about the peculiarities of the constellations and the stars, what their colour tells us, how they are born and die and other curiosities during approximately 20 minutes.

ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION WITH TELESCOPE. Our speciality. It lasts about an hour and a half. Besides showing you the sky with the naked eye and explaining curiosities about the cosmos, you will see with a 12-inch telescope the most representative astronomical objects: galaxies, globular clusters, double stars, planetary nebulae and of course the rings of Saturn, or Jupiter and its satellites depending on the time of year. Of course, the moon looks as if you were flying over it from very close.

SOLAR OBSERVATION WITH TELESCOPE. You will observe the Sun with a Coronado 80mm telescope. A professional astronomer will guide you across the solar surface to discover the daytime sky full of sunspots, faculae, granulations, spicules, protrusions and filaments within the immense solar fireball. Duration approximately one hour.
