Stardate is an astronomical gathering for people who are interested in observing the stars through a variety of telescopes brought along by participants; people who like listening to interesting talks and participating in workshops; people who like good food and good company; people who are interested in diverse aspects of astronomy. By the way that includes children; Stardate is a family affair.

By popular demand this Stardate has been extended to a four day affair, so there is even more opportunity for the family to explore the Hawkes Bay and for the astonomer to get that perfect viewing opportunity.
