Wellington Astronomical Society operate an observatory on a farm at Pauatahanui
with kind permission of the landowners. 
We
have an LX 200 Telescope on a 'wedge' and solar powered batteries and inverter.
The sky is suffering from an increase in light polution due to increased development
of lifestyle land parcels.
Star parties are held monthly or at alternative times due to weather or other observing needs, usually timed to coincide with minimal moon interference.
The observatory and Telescope
contact John Field for more info.
See the credits page for more of 'em.
