Our Observing tents provide:

1. A secure, private, enclosed environment for amateur astronomers to image, observe and/or store their astronomy equipment while out camping or while attending star parties.
2. Weather protection. Equipment can be quickly protected from approaching storms.
3. Comfort. With reduced air movement inside the tent, an imager or observer will find they are considerably more comfortable doing their work within the tent as wind chill (which is very noticeable even on summer nights) is reduced greatly.
4. Ease of set up in a very portable package. Set-up time 15 to 20 minutes.
