Dark Sky Project Summit -tähtikokemus Mt Johnin observatoriossa

第一次參加觀星團 比官網更便宜 而且服務非常好，你不用擔心衣服不暖亂，他們會提供連身羽絨外套。好像有四五個尺碼！ 唯獨是可惜是因為我們參加當晚是正月十五。是滿月～所以對於觀星是有影響的、比我想像中有點差距。 暗黑計劃他們會把你從山下再載上天文台保護區，然後由專人講解關於天文各種現象，其中間會問大家有沒有關於天文各種疑問？如果對十二行星和一些專業天文英文詞彙不太懂的話 可能了解起來會有點吃力。 不過他們有早一點的中文場提供參加～而且他們會使用天文台裏面的超大型觀星天文望遠鏡這是我第一次接觸到的覺得非常神奇機會亦都很難得！但是如果遇上初一十五月圓日子的附近日期我建議別參加了，因為可能會比較失望。

來到約翰山暗空保護區觀星真是難忘的體驗！導賞員知識豐富，講解生動易懂，會耐心介紹銀河、星座與南半球星空故事，中文講解對華人旅客非常友好。這裡是知名暗空區，光害極少，肉眼已經能看見壯麗銀河，透過望遠鏡觀察星體更加震撼。現場設備齊全，安排有序，安全指引充足，服務團隊細心照顧大家，性價比很高。很推薦喜歡星空、想感受純粹夜空的朋友前來，是新西蘭必試的觀星行程！

此次導覽解說人員是來自台灣的Tonic，溫暖開朗的笑容及口吻另身為台灣的我倍感親切，他在天文學上詳盡的介紹讓我增長了不少知識，推薦有來Tekapo 旅遊的朋友不要錯過那麼有趣且知性的觀星行程。

集合之後會有紅色保暖外套提供，分幾種不同尺寸。三位導遊的觀星知識非常豐富，國語和廣東話都能溝通，他們非常友善和細心，能帶動氣氛，上車之後大概15分鐘到達約翰天文台，給我們詳細介紹了很多星星的名字和天文知識，之後會用專業的望遠鏡觀星，總括然而，非常推薦，但大家需要注意戶外保暖

本次參加Dark sky project觀星行程，由於天氣多雲臨時和櫃檯更改為更晚時段的Crater experience（櫃檯有協助幫忙部分退款），體驗還是很棒！有親切介紹天文小知識的嚮導們，我們還透過天文望遠鏡看到好清楚的土星/鑽石星團/天狼星🌟～

非常值得去，中文導遊很有熱誠，學到很多天文知識，還可以親身看到土星，要超大望遠鏡，非常震撼，值得去

Vaikka varasimme englanninkielisen opastuksen, se oli silti erittäin sen arvoista! Kuinka monta kertaa elämässä pääsee tähtitieteelliseen tutkimuskeskukseen käyttämään näin tarkkoja laitteita tähtien tarkkailuun, ja samanaikaisesti kolmella laitteella katsomaan Linnunrataa, kuuta ja tähtiä valosaasteettomalla tähtitaivaan suojelualueella! Se oli todella arvokas kokemus!

We are super lucky as the day we join the sky is clear, we manage to see clearly. The guide taught us lots of knowledge regarding to stargazing. They provide warm coat for everyone and I suggest everyone to wear it as it will gets colder during stargazing. I will strongly recommend this tour to traveler who visit tekapo.

Absolutely loved it! We had perfect clear skies the day we had our experience. We headed for the meeting point 20 minutes prior to our departure time to listen in on what the weather was doing (they give a quick briefing). We then got suited up with warm jackets and hopped on the bus up to the top of the hill. Absolutely fantastic experience and the ski looks incredible from the top of Mt John Summit. We swapped between 3x telescopes and spent time learning about the constellations which was great. Would highly recommend this experience! There is a cafe at the summit which is open during the day if you're self-driving and want the best view of Lake Tekapo too. Would highly recommend self-driving up during the day. When you finish your experience they take you back to the meeting point where the shop is open if you want to purchase anything afterwards

My family went for the 2-hour Summit Experience stargazing guided tour by the Dark Sky Project. It was awesome! At the working Mount John Observatory at the top of the mountain overlooking Lake Tekapo. Insightful and interesting sharing by the experts, including evolution of stars and use of three different telescopes such as in one of the observatory domes, to look at the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Jewel Box Cluster of stars, etc. A really unique, once-in-a-lifetime, memorable and both inspiring and inspirational experience 👍🙏😊
