Not enough telescope time

3.0Cloudy skies but the tour still went ahead which I think was the wrong call as there was very little to see when we got to the location. The guide shared a lot of details on stars that were visible but by the time we got to the telescope viewing the cloud cover was worse so we didn't really see much. I would have preferred more telescope time and maybe some astrophotography examples for a more immersive experience as suggested by the promotional images.
Totally worhwhile! I recommend!!,

5.0Beautiful experience, informative and a bit mind blowing. Saw Saturn, learned about navigation, saw a magellanic cloud, gosh! Amazing! . A tip tho, they offer jackets and for good reason, I wished I'd accepted one of their jackets or brought my own down coat. An hour and a half on a cold evening when the wind gets up. Phew!! Wonderful time tho!!! Thanks heaps Dan.

5.0Megan did a wonderful job engaging our group and showing us the basics of navigation in the Southern Hemisphere, constellations, and some beautiful celestial objects in the telescope! Highly recommend. I wish the tours were longer to allow for a bit more telescope time- even 15 minutes would allow 1-2 more objects to be viewed and would enhance the experience.
Great night
