In this episode of Big Blend Radio's Adventures in Asheville Podcast, hosts Steve and Karen Wilson of The Lion & The Rose Bed & Breakfast sit down with Dawn Bankson, owner of Star Watch Night Vision Tours, to talk about exploring Asheville's night sky in a whole new way.

Listen to the Podcast Episode Below:

Using military-grade PVS-7 and PVS-14 night vision goggles — the same technology used by the U.S. military — Dawn takes guests out to dark-sky locations around the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mount Pisgah to spot meteor showers, satellites, and unexplained "travelers" streaking across the night sky.

Steve and Karen share their own experience catching the Perseid Meteor Shower on tour, and the conversation wanders into UFO sightings, Bigfoot lore, and why fall and winter are the best seasons for stargazing in Western North Carolina.

Plus, hear what's on tap at The Lion & The Rose Bed & Breakfast this season, and get the scoop on their in-room beer keg package for Beer City USA visitors.
