The Property

The Pope Ranch property sits right off Lake Buchanan, roughly an hour and a half west of Austin, TX. It is a gorgeous property set in the country and is absolutely AMAZING for stargazing.  This property will be exclusively for and dedicated to our Go Stargazing Eclipse Packages for a very quiet and unique astronomy-focused experience without a lot of other activities going on.

The Pope Ranch located right on Lake Buchanan located just 15 minutes west of Burnet, TX and roughly 2 hours from Austin/Bergrum International Airport.  It has some of the most amazing views of the lake you can really get on that lake and its going to be exclusively dedicated to these packages.

An Event With A Cause

10% of all profits of all sales will be donated to the Hyper Fusion #FuseTheCommunity initiative.  This initiative is to help support Hyper Fusion's annual Burnet ISD Technology Scholarship Program. Hyper Fusion is the company providing all of our fiber, wifi, and fixed point wireless internet services for our events.  The Federal Government denied Burnet County funding for internet and Hyper Fusion is on a mission to provide free or low cost internet to as many families with school children as they can.  Additionally, Hyper Fusion is trying to raise funds to build a small radio telescope observatory for the local High School's Astronomy clubs to start learning and getting more into astronomy.
