The society operates the observatory and telescope located on the western side of the Southland Museum and Art Gallery. Public viewing nights are each Wednesday, 7pm to 9pm, from April to September while daylight savings time is NOT in effect. Weather permitting, visitors may be afforded views of the moon, planets, star clusters and brighter nebulae. A slideshow presentation is available for when the weather does not cooperate.
Special group viewing sessions can also be organised through our observatory director. Contact Rodney Heenan, email here
