The Brashear Telescope is being completely restored to working order by Tomorrow's Skies Charitable Trust. We'd love your help!
The Tomorrow’s Skies Charitable Trust is seeking your help to restore and re-house the Brashear Telescope in a purpose-built dome so that generations to come can appreciate this historically significant astronomical masterpiece.
Once restored, this marvel of Victorian engineering will sit in the new International Astronomy Centre on the shores of Lake Tekapo and will be accessible free of charge all day for visitors to the renowned Aoraki International Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve.
This is your chance to be a part of the project that will ensure this antique telescope is restored masterfully and placed in a setting that will enable people to experience the striking depth of space in some of the world’s most pristine skies.
This will be the telescope in Tekapo; a centre point of astronomy that will be visited by tens of thousands of people each year.
