Story

Mount John University Observatory er New Zealands primære astronomiske observatorium. Det er beliggende 1.031 meter over havet, på toppen af Mount John i den nordlige ende af Mackenzie Basin på Sydøen i New Zealand. Der er fire teleskoper på stedet: to 0,6 m, en 1,0 m og en 1,8 m. Den nærmeste bebyggelse er feriebyen Lake Tekapo.
Observatoriet drives af University of Canterbury, og er en del af projektet HERCULES.
Observatoriets største teleskop er 1,8 meter MOA-teleskopet, et spejlteleskop opbygget af japanske astronomer og opstillet i december 2004 som led i det fælles japansk-new zealandske MOA-projekt til undersøgelse af mørkt stof. Projektet ledes af professor Yasushi Muraki fra Nagoya University.

Glorious panoramic views over Tekapo and beyond. Eftpos or credit card only for $8 entry to drive to the top. You can walk the track for free, approx 45 minutes. Didn't go into cafe but was told no hot drinks available so grab a coffee to go from the township
Well worth the $8 toll to the top. The views are amazing. If you are a photographer some excellent sites.
What a way to spend a birthday, gazing at, and learning about the stars. Fantastic experience with knowledge and friendly tour guides.
Great views. Low cloud coverage. But still able to take photos. Not many people up here. Peaceful and calm.
Well worth the $8 to drive up the hill & take in the view they have a nice cafe at the top so you can chill out with a nice beverage & just watch the world go by
Thank you Matt for helping us booking on the midnight tour. You and the two guides on the stargazing tour are great. We had great time with you guys. Cheers. Thien
I have been there in 2018,and I of the best place in Newsstand with beautiful views!
Fantastic views. Be aware there is a $8 road toll.
Incredible views. Well worth the entry cost. It can be very windy so be prepared! Also the cafe might be closed to check the signs first if you are going for food.
Great views of Tekapo, worth the journey by foot or car. Shame the cafe was closed at the time.
