Rangi Takō Winterstellar Astrophotography Exhibition 2026

The installation exhibition of photography from the 'Rangi Takō Winterstellar Exhibition 2026' will run in the Otago Art Society Hope and Otago Daily Times Galleries from the 31 August to 25th September.
Otago and Southland are remarkable places. Situated further south than most of the world's population, our region offers exceptional views of the Southern Milky Way, frequent displays of the Aurora Australis, and some of the darkest and most pristine night skies remaining anywhere on Earth. These skies are not only scientifically important, but also a source of inspiration for artists, photographers and all who take the time to look up.
The Winterstellar Charitable Trust was established to foster public appreciation of the dark skies of Otago and Southland through astronomy, astrophotography, education and community engagement. By bringing together artists, photographers, scientists and local communities, the Trust seeks to inspire stewardship of one of our region's greatest natural treasures – night skies that rank among the finest remaining in the world.
Winterstellar Charitable Trust has hired the OAS Galleries to exhibit this work, and they are delighted to be partnering with OAS to bring this exhibition to Dunedin.
The Trust also gratefully acknowledges the support of the Dunedin Railway Station, whose partnership through The Taieri Gorge Stargazer experience helps connect people with the extraordinary dark skies of Otago through a unique combination of rail travel, astronomy and storytelling. Their support has helped make this exhibition possible.
