“Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He gave a good introduction and overview of his presentation about the chronology etc of the origins of the universe. Would thoroughly recommend if it’s your thing, but if you have others in your group that are not so interested (my wife) you may prefer a more compressed tour. Picture at the end is great & looks really cool - even to my kids! Definitely inspired me to do more with my telescope at home. Thank you.”
