Hosted by the Dunedin Astronomical Society: The Society was established in 1910 and is open to anyone with an interest in astronomy. They run an Astronomy 101 course on visual observing, using a telescope, general astronomy and astrophotography. The Society supports Dunedin Dark Skies and is pleased that the DCC agreed to shield the new LED city lights to improve night sky viewing.
