Here at the Tables we have a large 10” LX200GPS Schmidt
Cassegrain Telescope with which we can
show you the splendors
of the night sky. If you have never looked through a telescope
or you are an experienced observer, there is plenty to look
at including The Moon, Planets, Stars, Nebulae and Galaxies.
The telescope is controlled electronically
via the Autostar
II`s massive 145,000 object database
or by computer program.
Night time observing is available from the first week of September until mid April, it is too light at all other times due to our Northerly latitiude.
We are able to give viewings of the Sun at all times of the year (as long as the Sun is visible).

 For
the Bird watcher here on Skye, there is an abundance of
birds to watch from the rare White Tailed Sea Eagle soaring
over sea cliffs, the Golden Eagle circling around the Cuillin
Hills or Ringed Plover at the Coral Beaches as well as Eider
and Black Guillemot in the sea. For lots more information
on what to see and where to go visit Skye
