Skywatching Experience at Dark Sky Eco Retreat

Sky Watching Adventure

Experience Coonabarabran sky watching at its finest from our private observatory located on-site. Nestled next to Australia’s first Dark Sky Park and elevated at 675 metres, our facility offers a stunning 180-degree view of the sky. With cozy lounges and sheltered walls, we provide an unparalleled skywatching experience exclusively for guests of the Dark Sky Eco Retreat, perfect for those interested in astrophotography.

Our state-of-the-art RASA computer-driven telescope produces real-time images, while our 11-inch refractor, equipped with a 2-inch eyepiece and the digital Smart Eye, delivers impressive color, vibrant depth, and clarity of nebulae and galaxies.
