Celebrating the night sky …
The ‘cosmic’ in midst of the ‘ordinary’. Large prints of deep space & wide-field astrophotography by local photographer Rohit Vig will be visible at venues across Point Chevalier & at Mt Albert Library in weeks leading up to Matariki day. Distant galaxies, nebulae, planets, star constellations, night landscapes - many shot from his inner city backyard using telescopes & everyday lenses.
Most of us now lives in midst of light pollution that increasingly obscures our view of the night.

This exhibition is an encouragement to connect with the night sky like our ancestors did, to let in its beauty and to sustain it for future generations.
Rohit will also run a free public workshop on “Stargazing from your backyard” at Mt Albert Library on Saturday 14th June at 2pm.
