Witness the cosmos in high definition under the silver glow of the moon.

The Lunar Discovery Sessions offer a spectacular, high-contrast journey through our immediate solar neighbourhood. Running exclusively during our Lunar Windows, these sessions embrace the brilliant light of the moon to showcase celestial targets that thrive under magnification. Instead of looking for faint, distant deep-sky objects, our premier CDK700 telescope pivots to track sharp, high-intensity details. Look deep into magnificent lunar craters, soaring mountain ranges like the lunar Apennine Mountains, and dramatic shadows along the terminus line.

Depending on the month, our specialists will also lock onto bright planetary giants—giving you an unforgettable look at the rings of Saturn or the cloud bands and Galilean moons of Jupiter.

Incredible Detail: Ideal for seeing sharp planetary surfaces and bright, dazzling double stars.
Interactive Science: Learn how changing moon phases affect our night sky and explore the importance of nocturnal conservation.
Comfortable Facilities: Includes access to our climate-controlled presentation room and 98" data screen.
Best For: First-timers, moon lovers, and families looking for instantly recognisable, high-impact cosmic views.
