Exploring the Skies from the Big Meadows
Meet amateur astronomer, Frank Perfetti. Frank was born in Lexington, VA and fell in love with the mountains at a very early age. At the age of 15 he started taking flying lessons which turned into a very successful 36-year career as an airline pilot.
Frank will share with you not only his love for astronomy but also for aviation, which he did as a volunteer at the National Air and Space Museum in D.C. manning a Discovery Station. In his 52 years of flying he has been witness to some amazing beauty and grandeur flying over the country looking out those big windows forward on the flight deck.
You will meet Frank at the Rapidan Road gate area for night skies viewing both through a telescope and with the naked eye.
* Face masks required

A flashlight is necessary along with a jacket in event of cooler mountain air. Free to park visitors.
In the event of inclement weather, a video presentation will be held in the Massanutten Room at the Lodge with Frank sharing amazing night skies images he has taken over the years.
