This is a Free, Ticketed Event. Sunset 5:50pm - 2 Days New Moon sets 7.59pm.
We are trialling this event start at 7pm-9pm allowing families to get kids fed beforehand, and darker skies means better viewing.
Parking will be at the front of Pattermore house and co-ordinated by our awesome volunteer attendants. This avoids headlights disturbing stargazers. Bring a torch to use on the way back to your car.
Only telescope owners will be allowed to park inside.
We will have a presentation at 7:30 in the Marquee, focused on the proposed Dark Sky Reserve, followed by a laser guided tour of the night sky and telescope viewing.
Dress warm.
Radiation heat loss under the stars can be significant. So bring extra layers of clothing, especially a hat or beanie and a scarf. Jeans and thin sole shoes are poor insulators!
No pets please. They are a trip hazard at night.
While this is a free ticketed event, donations to help run these events are greatly appreciated. We suggest $5 for individuals and $10 for families, which can be done by cash or electronically on site.
NOTE: We will do a weather update on Friday.
