See it, know it, love it!
Star Struck
Hands-on Astronomy
Our small group sizes and multiple scopes mean you'll get plenty of opportunity to use the telescopes. See something up there that you want to examine more closely? After a few quick lessons, you'll be exploring on your own.
A dash of milk.
Carnarvon's dark skies, far from major sources of light pollution mean we get fabulous views of the Milky Way, our own galaxy. If you have a camera with a fast lens, bring it along and try your hand at photographing this spectacle - we'll give you a hand!
Fuzzies...
Have you ever noticed that some stars don't appear 'sharp' - they look a bit fuzzy? Often, a closer look with the telescope will reveal something spectacular, like the Great Orion Nebula.
