The Observatory Discover the majesty of our night sky from our viewing platform and through our 12.5″ Newtonian telescope housed in our geodesic domed observatory.  The telescope is easily accessible for all ages and we are located approximately 30 kms from the Siding Spring Observatory. During your stay we will take you on a tour of the sky (weather permitting) and show you how to orient yourself at night so that you are able to understand the motions of the stars and planets, identify various constellations visible at any given time and perhaps even see a meteor or satellite moving overhead.  Through our telescope we will take a closer look at the moon, planets, brighter nebulae, stars, and star clusters.
