Mount Stromlo Observatory has been carrying out astronomical observations for over 100 years and, before the 2003 firestorm, had grown from a small outpost of pioneering astronomers to one of the world’s great observatories.
Now you can experience it through the unique opportunity of a private stargazing night.
Professional or experienced amateur astronomers lead our private stargazing nights from the Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics and the Canberra Astronomical Society. These nights include after-hours access to the observatory, the use of Mt Stromlo’s outreach telescopes, and a guided experience in viewing some of the most interesting features of the Southern Hemisphere sky.
Private nights are wonderful highlights for your conference or a special way to commemorate a birthday or major life event.
With a limited number of bookings available, it is recommended that you plan and book early to avoid disappointment!
Please note: “Due to the variability of weather and visibility conditions, we will contact you by noon on the day of your scheduled event with information on weather and options, and give you the opportunity to reschedule or cancel if desired.”
