About Me

Introduction

I’m Zane Landers, a digital marketing and communications specialist. Most of my hobbies are pretty hands-on - whether it’s stargazing, working on my Miata, or roller skating. I have a Master’s degree in marketing from the University of Arizona and currently work as a marketing intern at Universal Avionics.

My professional experience spans multiple disciplines. Since 2017, I’ve been building, buying, repairing, and reselling telescopes. This experience led me to work as a writer/editor for TelescopicWatch since 2018, where I review commercially manufactured telescopes and write guides for both beginners and experienced astronomers. I have done articles for other websites as well, and I am a frequent contributor to the Cloudy Nights astronomy forum.

Star Party Bookings

Experience the night sky like never before with a private star party. Utilizing my large telescopes, I can provide fantastic views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, galaxies, nebulae, and more (deep-sky objects will require reasonably dark conditions for a good view).

I also have telescopes available for daytime solar viewing of sunspots (no H-alpha as of yet)

Approximate pricing is as follows:

$100 for 1 hour
$150 for 2 hours
$200 for 3 hours

For events further outside Tucson I am willing to travel for an additional cost.
