点评:My family and I had an wonderful experience, together with a few other family groups, with our guide Sang. Everything went as expected even though the sky over Tekapo was a little cloudy in the afternoon and evening but we were in luck as the sky above us cleared up during our 90 minutes tour. We were provided with red light torches to walk safely to the middle of a really dark field. From there, we could see plenty of tiny stars and the Milky Way. Even spotted some moving satellites too. Chairs, blankets and hot chocolate were provided and we were introduced to various constellations like Orion, Canis Major and Southern Cross. Sang even explained a little on how to use the stars for navigation.
We took turns to peek into the 2 telescopes provided to see various nebulas, star clusters, binary stars etc.
Star gazing on a clear night is a must-do activity when visiting the Dark Sky reserve in Lake Tekapo.

我们轮流用提供的 2 台望远镜观察各种星云、星团、双星等。
在晴朗的夜晚观星是参观特卡波湖暗夜保护区时必做的活动。
