Sedona stargazing: book a tour, or just find a dark road?

Evening Sky Tours lists 2 bookable tours, priced $117 USD per adult. The least expensive is Sedona Stargazing Tour ($117 USD per adult, 1 hour 10 minutes); the most expensive is Private Stargazing Tour ($1200 USD per group (up to 6 people), 1 hour 10 minutes). You can book online or by phone. Phone: (928) 203-0006. The sky is free — Sedona holds an International Dark Sky designation and a dark pullout costs nothing. What the ticket below buys, per the operator's own pages: telescope viewing of galaxies, clusters, nebulae and planets, an astronomer running laser-guided constellation education, and a reserved dark-sky site a short drive from town with directions sent at booking. Forum travellers who went DIY and loved it usually had their own optics and a moonless night; the moon phase on your dates matters either way and no tour controls it. Every figure here was read from the operators' own websites and carries the date it was checked; none of these Sedona listings has been independently verified yet.
