Hmmm, in the first week of April Deb and I might spend a few days in Te Wai Pounamu (The South Island). Which could mean doing this — Takapō Stargazing at Mount John:

High atop Mount John’s 1,029- metre peak, you'll be at the heart of the world’s largest International Dark Sky Reserve. Let our skilled guides open your eyes to the Southern night sky with captivating tales and facts.

@Miraz Do they allow you to take pictures during this? I can imagine that they would frown upon people using flash photography.

@mandaris The guidance says to make sure the flash is off. Makes sense.

@Miraz Oh, my sister when there a few months ago. From her account it was amazing.

@lmika Great info. Thanks. 😁

@Miraz oh wow, please, please let us (me!) know how this goes. I’ve wanted to do this for ages and I bet it will be incredible!

@dfr @bsag If we get there I’ll definitely blog about it. 😁
