Winter Astrocamp, Fri 6th - Sun 8th August 2010 at the Carterton RSA Held from Friday until Sunday evening, the focus of Winter Astrocamp is observational astronomy and astrophotography. During the day there will be the opportunity to observe the Sun. In the evenings we have the wonders of the winter Milky Way and beyond. In addition to observing we have, during the day, a programme of lectures and workshops with opportunities to exchange ideas and socialise. Flyers for the Astrocamp are available for anyone to download/print to display at work, schools, public notice boards etc. Flyer in Colour Flyer in Greyscale The timing of Winter Astrocamp is to take advantage of the wonderful winter night skies when the most brilliant region of the Milky Way is overhead in the evening. A free Tour of Stonehenge Aotearoa will be included as part of the programme. A dinner will held at the RSA on the Saturday evening followed by a public talk on ExploringAstrophysics in the Radio Renaissance by Dr Melanie Johnston-Hollitt.
