Come along to a Phoenix Astro meeting in Carterton and meet the people who spend their clear nights looking up. The Phoenix Astronomical Society brings local stargazers together to talk about what’s in the Wairarapa night sky, share observing and astrophotography tips, and hear from guest speakers.
New to astronomy? Bring your questions. Whether you’re figuring out your first telescope or have been observing for years, there’s always someone to talk sky with.
