From Nicola:
The date for the observatory trip has been tentatively set for Sunday 18 July, as we see the Matariki constellation quite a bit later down here than in the North Island. I'm waiting to hear back about the time, but it should definitely be early enough that people with Sunday commitments should still be able to get to them (i.e. probably about 6am). I hope this suits everyone who has let me know that they're interested. Also, the cost will be the same as for the regular observatory hours - $3 per child, $5 per adult.
Edited to add: trip now confirmed for 6.30am, 18 July. Trip will continue, rain or shine!
Location: Beverley Begg Observatory - on the far side of Robin Hood Park. Cnr City Rd and Ross St. Park on Ross St and walk across the park. Some clever soul gave us a tip to wear gumboots - the park can be muddy on a dewy winter's morning/evening.
Note: there are no toilets at or near the Observatory (!)
