Learn About Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures and Our Unique Experiences

Hi! My name is Evan Thibodeau, founder and owner of Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures—that’s me on the right!

After studying business administration and marketing for three years, I moved from southeastern Pennsylvania to Flagstaff in 2009 to pursue a degree in Forestry at Northern Arizona University. I graduated in 2012 and spent the next five years working for a non-profit conservation corps, where I gained hands-on experience in trail work, invasive species mitigation, and field operations, eventually becoming an operations manager.

In 2017, I shifted into professional guiding. I knew I wanted to spend as much time outdoors as possible, and helping others connect with nature in a safe and sustainable way felt like the perfect path. I began guiding in some of the most stunning landscapes in North America—from Banff to Tucson and many places in between.

One of those places was the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, where I had the chance to photograph a total solar eclipse. I was already dabbling in astrophotography, but that moment sparked a passion to teach others how to capture the night sky. That’s how Flagstaff Stargazing Adventures began.

Today, we offer a variety of stargazing and astrophotography experiences using a fleet of telescopes and imaging equipment. Whether you're a curious beginner or an experienced skywatcher, we provide mobile, self-contained star parties that are tailored to meet your interest and experience level.
