Stargazing tours offered for casual visitors and house guests last about 1 1/2 hours and provide
and excellent introduction to our beautiful southern night sky from our dark sky
site.
Visitors start on our viewing deck and first learn to identify several constellations
and bright stars using the bright green laser pointer. They then move into the rotating dome with
the research grade 14" Celestron CGE Pro telescope to view, planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies and
the moon in detail.
Children can operate the rotating dome and learn how stars are born and
die. Hold meteorites older than the earth, examine dinosaur fossils and mineral specimens. Hear
Morepork owls and maybe Kiwis calling. Special daytime tours are available to view sunspots.
