Matariki Morning Viewings Cancelled This Year

Unfortunately, due to poor weather, we are cancelling all of our morning Matariki viewings this year - Friday 20th and Saturday  21st (the backup morning). Looking at the forecast, it seems unlikely we’ll be able to see much on either morning, so we hope for good weather in 2026.

The evening lecture has now been moved to Wednesday, July 2nd (our July public night), starting at 7:30 pm. The lecture is on the history and astronomy of Matariki and will be delivered by Richard Croy (committee member of the Hamilton Astronomical Society).
