The main telescope is a 50cm (20″) f2.9 GoTo Newtonian Reflector. It follows the stars as you look at them – so they don’t drift out of the field of view. This telescope is a real ‘light bucket’ and allows us to see many faint galaxies, nebulae and other targets that smaller telescopes would struggle to see. In addition, Gisborne Astro Tours is situated under a dark, rural sky (SQM ave 21.5) and permits beautiful views of astronomical targets. In addition, a smaller 41cm (16″) Newtonian will be used – so people can alternate between the two telescopes (less waiting time).
