Travelling
Telescopes
in Education

We travel to your site to bring to you an exciting hands-on experience – using 2 x 11inch diameter electron telescopes; computer automated telescopes which use GPS and electronic compass with programmable Sky Tour features.

You have the option of viewing the night skies and moon, or a solar display (which fits into normal school hours, especially where students travel long distances). This inter-active experience is supported by a stunning sight & sound presentation on various astronomical subjects, which can be customised to fit in with your school curriculum.

Just let us know in advance – age range, special interest subjects etc. We work in conjunction with your teachers at all times – some students may be watching the DVD presentation while others are taking their turn viewing through the telescopes. This is an economical means of providing your students with a special experience - Smaller schools may choose to combine to reach the usual numbers of 50 or more.

Parents often wish to participate, and several of our schools combine the occasion with a bar-b-que. School camps – an extra special activity which entertains and informs Private bookings are also accepted – community gatherings are very popular, or even for special birthday parties. Suitable for all age groups We use only high quality equipment and resources.

Astronomy is an absorbing hobby which expands our horizons - far beyond our own backyards. Wouldn't it be exciting to discovour something yourself?

It does happen - Terry Lovejoy of Thornlands (QLD) has discovered and named two comets since March 2007.
