The Auckland Astronomical Society’s Waharau Dark Sky Weekend is from Friday 5th April to Sunday 7th April and will be a weekend of practical astronomy and dark sky observing.
It is great opportunity to spend a weekend viewing the sky from a dark site on Moonless nights thought a range of different telescopes. Bring your telescope or binoculars, but if you don't have any there will be plenty there for you to look through.
During the day on Saturday there will be a full programme of practical astronomy – how to use equipment and various types of telescopes, new equipment demonstrations and an astrophotography workshop.
Films will be shown in the early evening on Friday and Saturday.
Venue: Waharau Regional Park, 1748 E Coast Rd, Orere Point, Whakatiwai
