Evenings with little to no Moon in the night sky are ideal in country areas. This darkness showcases the Milky Way in all its glory as it stretches across the night sky. The darkness also provides opportunities to see faint objects such as the stunning Magellanic Clouds, nearby galaxies that can be seen with the naked eye, plus far-off galaxies and gaseous nebulae, clearly seen through telescopes.
Evenings with a brighter Moon add a different flavour to a stargazing experience. The Moon makes a wonderful focal point for presentations, discussions and Q&A. A full Moon rising is particularly spectacular in country WA with expansive horizons and sunset colours with the full Moon rise. Objects such as planets, brighter star clusters and nebulae are not impacted by the moonlight.
Our program generally runs for 2.5hrs and we will work with you to determine a suitable date for the evening stargazing experience. No matter which date you choose, we will get the best from the night sky for everyone to enjoy.
Our Star Tracks Astronomy Guides are professional science communicators who have expert knowledge in astronomy, stargazing, telescopes and astrophotography. They are entertaining, engaging and explain astronomy so that anyone can understand easily. All guides hold a current Working With Children Card.
