The course is held at Beverly-Begg Observatory and all you need to do is turn up at 7pm for class each Tuesday, we bring the rest!  

There is a $40 fee per person for this course and places are limited. You can also get full society membership to the end of the 2023 season for a discounted additional $10.

This course is aimed at adults, teenagers, and families.  If your school-aged child is very keen on astronomy, please also consider our Fun Science Space Club which runs at the observatory every Friday night during the school year from 7-9pm or a Family Membership to the observatory.

A sign-up link will be posted here over the next couple of days. Otherwise, get in touch with us at secretary@dunedin.astronomical.nz to organise.
