Blue Mountains Stargazing
Things To Do Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains, New South Wales
Adventure and Outdoors Tours
The Blue Mountains has some of the brightest skies in New South Wales. This makes for exceptional stargazing, as Dr Dimitri Douchin (an astrophysicist) knows only too well.
During 90-minute tours of the sky, visitors will embark on a journey of the southern sky. Gaze up with the naked eye to identify stars, planets and constellations, and hear the stories behind them. Then peer out through a telescope, which offers a front-row seat to the moon and its craters and seas, Saturn’s rings, the Orion Nebula, deep-space objects and shooting stars. Perfect for all ages, this unforgettable tour makes the perfect night out away from the city lights.
In case of cloudy skies, take things up a notch and visit Douchin’s pop-up planetarium, illuminating the constellations from the comfort of an inflatable bubble with a mug of chocolate in hand.

On this first (and last) lunar eclipse for 2024, you will see a darkening of the Full Moon created by the shadow of the Earth projected onto the Moon.
What to expect:
– a live commentary of the Eclipse
– telescope viewing of the Eclipse
– scientific explanation of this phenomenon
– and of course all the joy of our regular stargazing tours (telescope viewing of Deep Sky objects, laser-guided constellation storytelling, naked-eye astronomy, binocular viewing and hot chocolate!)
The tour will start right at the peak of the Eclipse which is also the moment when the Moon rises. Dimitri our astronomer always says that Moon rises are the most underrated celestial phenomenon – as the Moon reddens and looks enormous on the horizon!
The peak of the eclipse will last for about 10-20 minutes and the Moon will brighten again progressively.
