Arkaroola Information
Arkaroola provides you with a rare opportunity to tour the universe by combining one of Australia's largest privately owned astronomical observatories with new age Star Chairs.
Under the expert tuition of Arkaroola's guides, this tour makes for the type of intergalactic experience that is not normally available to anyone but astronomers and scientists. You'll find some of the best astronomical viewing conditions in the southern hemisphere – our night skies are free of atmospheric and light pollution to provide you with a truly unforgettable experience.
Three professionally equipped observatories are available for tours and you're encouraged to bring your own equipment. Our equipment includes: Two 360mm (14-inch) f-11 Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain computer controlled telescopes; Two 124mm (5-inch) Meade Maksutov-Cassegrain computer controlled telescopes; Three Star Chairs, each fitted with powerful 20x80 astronomical binoculars – computer or manually operated. There are three piers with wedges for your own telescopes. Astrophotography equipment, including CCD, is also available.
Bookings subject to suitable viewing conditions. There are various time limitations on tours due to the weather. Three tours per night can be run.
