...'There was a meteor shower as well and we had this profound experience. But after the tour we went home and couldn't sleep under the stars so we took blankets out to a pontoon on the lake in freezing weather so we could look at the sky.

'We were just thinking about how amazing it would be to stay under the stars but there wasn't anything like that available so when we came back to Australia we decided to try and replicate the experience we had for others.'

The couple started looking up bubble tents - completely clear inflatable tents - overseas in January, 2017, and began scouting out potential locations.

'We wanted it to be a two to four hour band from Sydney so pollution wasn't an issue but it was still close enough and we wanted to make sure the stargazing would be perfect,' Sonny said.

The biggest problem I see would be preventing condensation on the inside of the bubble due to the cold outside.

I am really curious about how they deal with condensation.

Perhaps like the defroster in one's car, they keep a constant flow of warm air moving across the surface. This air doesn't have time enough to cool off. It would also help if the air had some moisture removed first.
