At the Dubbo Observatory, you can view the planets, stars and galaxies through telescopes at night.
The 75-minute Night Sky & Telescope Viewing Session starts with an informative presentation under the stars by local astronomer, Peter Starr, followed by viewing the planets and stars through the telescopes. If you bring a compatible DSLR camera, you can get a photo of a colourful nebula through the telescope.
