Winter Astrocamp - Detail

WINTER ASTROCAMP 2008


 Winter Astrocamp, 2008, 31st May – 2nd June

The timing of Winter Astrocamp to take advantage of the wonderful winter night skies when the most brilliant region of the Milky Way is overhead in the early morning.

This year we are again at the Carterton R.S.A. Talks and workshops will be held at the R.S.A. between 10:00am and 4:00pm (exact times to be confirmed) Saturday and Sunday.  The RSA is a large and comfortable venue and the bar will be open. Observing will take place at the Observatory site at Ahiaruhe.

Coffee and tea are part of the registration. Lunch will be soup and a roll or something very similar. The evening meals will be smorgasboard style, and a range of dishes will be provided.
