Off Season: Scoping Out the Night Sky

Historic Home Hill - Scoping Out the Night Sky

Join friendly amateur astronomers for a winter evening of stargazing at historic Home Hill in Devonport. Suitable for all ages, you'll explore deep space through telescopes and smart scopes, try to locate all the great sights on the moon, and pick up expert tips on night sky photography with your own phone. Winter's long, dark nights make for some of the best stargazing conditions of the year. Round it off with marshmallows roasted over a warm fire pit.
