The debut of Montana's only glass-roofed double-decker — a private stargazing evening under a moonless sky at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, the best stargazing night of the year.
August 12 brings the peak of the Perseid meteor shower and the new moon on the very same date — conditions this good have not lined up since 2018. It is the darkest, clearest night the calendar offers. We're marking the debut of Montana's only glass‑roofed double‑decker with an intimate evening — a chef's dinner beneath the stars, telescopes at hand, and a ride to the darkest skies for the Perseids at their peak.
The Grand Opening is August 12. That is the night of the launch — the program, the first turn of the key — and it belongs to the twelfth no matter what else we add. Should demand run past fifty‑three guests, we open Perseid Watch evenings on August 11 and August 13: the same coach, the same chef, the same moonless sky — with the launch itself reserved for opening night. Evenings are added only as demand calls for them, so the earlier you reserve, the more say you have in which is yours.
The sky is the one thing we cannot arrange. If clouds prevent the viewing, your evening moves to the next available night at no charge — no penalty, no argument. And should the forecast turn against the twelfth, we will move the Grand Opening itself to the eleventh or the thirteenth: the Perseids run all three nights, and your seat travels with the date. We would rather move your night than sell you a gray one.
The grand opening on August 12 is a private stargazing evening. Beyond that night, we are now booking stargazing experiences, weddings, and private charters — begin an inquiry any time.
Join The 71 before August 1 and your Grand Opening seat is complimentary. Join after, and your seat becomes a credit toward a private stargazing evening of your choosing.
