Mount Stromlo Observatory has been carrying out astronomical observations for over 100 years and, before the 2003 firestorm, had grown from a small outpost of pioneering astronomers to one of the world's great observatories.
Now you can experience it through the unique opportunity of a private stargazing and behind-the-scenes tour of the facility.
Professional or experienced amateur astronomers lead our private stargazing nights from the Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics and the Canberra Astronomical Society. These nights include after-hours access to the observatory, the use of Mt Stromlo’s outreach telescopes, and a guided experience in viewing some of the most interesting features of the Southern Hemisphere sky.
In addition, guests will have the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour, which details the fascinating history of Mount Stromlo as the Commonwealth Solar Observatory, notable scientific achievements by its researchers, and its experience and rebirth following the 2003 bushfires, as well as providing access to areas not normally open to the public
Private nights are wonderful highlights for your conference or a special way to commemorate a birthday or major life event.
With a limited number of bookings available, it is recommended that you plan and book early to avoid disappointment!
