Gilgandra Observatory

Gilgandra's clear night sky is perfect for stargazing. Spectacular views of day and night sky through 31cm diameter telescope. During the day interesting phenomena on the surface of the sun can be safely seen.

The Southern Cross and Pointers are seen most of the year and the best time to see them is in winter. You will see Stars, Open Clusters and Globular Clusters, also the Moon (when visible)! and we will try and find a magnificent Nebula, the birth places of stars! Throughout the year you can see the two best planets, Jupiter and Saturn.

The display centre contains a gallery of district wildflowers and examples of tektite and meteorite. An audio visual presentation of the district's attractions can be seen in the projection area.
