A Bright Starry Night For Connie And Carolyn

A Bright Starry Night For Connie And Carolyn

Staying as Airbnb guests for several days, there’s nothing like an astro tour to get your holiday off to a good start! The timing of the stay was chosen with stargazing in mind – first and foremost. The sky did not disappoint being lit up by starlight and with a reasonable air temperature for comfort levels.

Both guests with astronomical knowledge and experience, were from the inner Melbourne suburb of Clifton Hill making dark sky viewing of our southern sky objects with Honeysuckles Astronomy Tours a highly sought-after objective. Connie herself is the proud owner of a reflector telescope, but you can’t beat dark skies when gazing tens of millions of light years across the universe into a majestic spiral galaxy. Many superb objects were observed during the evening. Contented with their stellar visitations on night one, a wild and spectacular ocean beach was all theirs on the days that followed … The city escape was complete!
