★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately, we couldn't change the weather. Clouds blocked out view. Not a star visible in the sky. But Peter showed us around and we got to view videos and photos and learn how to take them ourselves. We stayed for two hours and learned heaps. Our 12 year old girls enjoyed it even though it wasn't hands on this time. Definitely ignited more interest. Well worth the visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great evening of stories scientific and personal, from a life devoted to following a passion for astronomy. Peter is a great teacher, with a northern english sense of humour (that’s a good thing!).
The session is 2-3 hours, with time for questions and answers, in a small group. Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great evening we had! Helped by a totally clear night we were fascinated and had our minds blown by the millions of stars we saw, planets in our solar system, Peter's insights and his incredible photography. Not only is this the best thing to do in Geraldine, but up there with our best experiences in New Zealand.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We got plenty of telescope observation time, and a lovely clear night... Save your Tekapo money and check out Peter and his Observatory, he's going to show you some fantastic highlights... and you can choose what you want to see, Cassini Divison, Great Red Spot, Globular Clusters, nebulae. What a treat!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very small groups, 8 people, that allows lot of time in the telescope, no rush and good knowledge from the host. The telescope is very modern and powerful. The rest if the 'facilities' could use a renovation. Is a very homey setup, tht makes it nice in a way.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Extremely knowledgeable, smart and witty guy. Peter taught me a lot about astronomy, despite me having 4 years of tertiary astrophysics experience! We didn't get an opportunity to view through the telescopes much as the clouds were in the way but check the weather ahead and plan carefully.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Forget paying $175 for the big observatory nearby, Peter and his equipment gives a much more personal and unique experience for seeing some of the world's darkest skies. Ask him about his discoveries and UFO sightings. He asks for a generous donation of about $25-50.
