Deep Sky Nights

Deep-sky observing nights are held each month at Parkerville, where the emphasis is on observing darker-sky objects. Part of the night is set aside to view and study the features of one particular constellation before everyone roams through the sky at will. The night begins at sunset and continues until cloud, dew, rain or exhaustion puts an end to the night's observing. The on-site building offers a chance to take a break, sit around, have a warm up and chat over a cuppa before heading out again to see more of the wonders of the night sky.
