Star hunting Trysil is a unique adventure under the stars with many unique celestial features and other worldly landscapes Tim does his best to give you a magical experience stargazing in Trysil.

You will be offered the use of a pair of 10×50 binoculars and 15×70 skymaster binoculars plus Tim will take some amazing night photographs that you can download via a simple link.

Tim has basic knowledge of astronomy and is not an expert but has a passion to point out the best things that you can see using a pair of binoculars when its minus 10 and with limited time.

He decided not to offer a telescope because he wants everyone to enjoy the nightsky at the same time.

Depending on the time of your visit you will see:

Orion Nebula, otherwise known as M42, a stellar nursery where new stars are being born.

Sirius, also known as the Dog Star or Sirius A, is the brightest star in Earth’s night sky. The name means “glowing” in Greek.

The Hyades, a cluster of stars 152 light years away that makes the head of Taurus, the Bull, appears to surround the bright star Aldebaran

Pleiades. The Pleiades also known as M45 or the Seven Sisters, is the name of an open cluster in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest to the Earth

The Big Dipper is an asterism in the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear). One of the most familiar star shapes in the northern sky, it is a useful navigation tool.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way and is one of a few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth.

Meteor showers occur when dust or particles from asteroids or comets enter Earth’s atmosphere at very high speed. When they hit the atmosphere, meteors rub against air particles and create friction, heating the meteors.

A fireball is another term for a very bright meteor, generally brighter than magnitude -4, which is about the same magnitude of the planet Venus

Satellites can be seen quite often at night.
