Once you've seen the stunning night sky over Lake Tekapo you'll be wanting to take a photographic souvenir to show your friends back home just what it was like. If you've tried to capture the stars, chances are that your results weren't quite what you'd hoped — but don't be discouraged, help is at hand!

To participate, your camera needs to have a "bulb" (timed exposure) function and the ability to be manually focused, so most SLR and DSLR designs will work. Our special tracking mount can accommodate five cameras simultaneously, plus we have shutter release cables for Canon, Nikon and Sony models.

Please note: our astrophotography staff will occasionally be unavailable owing to research duties at Mt John Observatory or vacation time. At the time of booking we will be able to inform you if these times coincide with your proposed visit.
The taking of photographs and video footage on Mount John is permitted for personal use only. Any other use, including commercial use, of such photographs or video footage is prohibited.
