Star Viewing Nights: Testimonials

"I am writing to express my thanks to the staff of the Perth Observatory, for their kindness on our recent attendance at a star viewing night."

"The visit was to mark my mother's 85th birthday. She really enjoyed the night and was very thankful for the kindness and consideration shown to her by your staff who helped her to see through the telescopes, pointed out the various constellations and took time to set up a telescope that she could access as she was unable to look through some of the telescopes. She is reasonably mobile (for her age!) but it was very useful for her to have a wheelchair so she could avoid walking in the dark and standing for any length."

"It was a lovely evening and I would like again to express my thanks."

T. M., Willetton.

"Many thanks for the fabulous tour last night. All of us were 'star-struck' and had a wonderful time.

"The Perth Observatory is privileged to have committed staff like you."

M. D., Kiara.

"It was certainly one of the better Christmas gifts I've managed to think of for my family over the years."

"We all appreciated the professional, entertaining and informative way that the evening was run and particularly thank you for looking after us."

"You guys run a great facility there."

N. D., Fremantle.

Your 100 Hours of Astronomy in Kings Park was a most wonderful event. Please pass on our thanks to the organisers. We had a lovely family picnic on Sunday and truly enjoyed all your hard work and organisation.

I. M., North Perth.

We visited the Observatory years and years ago with our friends when the kids were little. They raved about it for years. Just wanted you to know how much of an impression it left!

The Observatory astronomer was very knowledgeable and used the telescope with ease and aplomb. I am the owner of small instrument and I understand the difficulty one can encounter finding celestial objects amongst a sea of light pollution.

We all enjoyed our star viewing session immensely. I have been interested in astronomy all my life and I am no means a novice. The Observatory astronomer was quick to realise that we all had some knowledge and adjusted his delivery accordingly.

C. E., South Lake.
