Last Chance to catch the Milky Way Core in 2022!
Nightly from 7pm to 1am

Photograph the Gannet Colony under the stars. This is one of the few locations in New Zealand where you can photograph wildlife and astro at the same time!

We’ll shoot from 7pm to catch the sunset, through to 1am when the milkyway will arch across the horizon. If we’re lucky we’ll even catch some bioluminescence in the waves.

Specialist equipment is available from Lumix, Samyang, and iOptron . We can provide astro-optimized lenses for all major camera brands.
