Effects of Weather Conditions and Moon Phases on Astronomy Tours

The service offered by AtacamaStargazing depends on various factors beyond our direct control. Below, we outline the most relevant ones:

Weather Conditions: Wind Speed and Cloud Cover

These conditions are fundamental and can be checked using various free online weather services. At AtacamaStargazing, we constantly monitor these variables and use these forecasts as references to evaluate the feasibility of the tour.

Our Commitment:

We make decisions with a conservative approach, always prioritizing your best possible experience.

Important Points to Consider:

• Weather forecasts are not 100% accurate.

• Occasionally, conditions may change during the tour.

• If astronomical observation remains feasible, the tour will proceed as planned.

In this case, no requests for discounts, compensation, or refunds will be accepted.

Moon Phases and Illumination Percentage

At AtacamaStargazing, we conduct tours even during a full moon. On these nights, the focus of the tour is narrative and astronomical, highlighting the observation and beauty of the Moon.

Note:

• Tours conducted during a full moon are not considered inferior to those held on moonless nights.

• Therefore, no requests for discounts, compensation, or refunds will be accepted based on the moon phase.
