We are planning an extra programme for visitors between the satellite event and workshop. In association with the South African Astronomical Observatory (https://www.saao.ac.za), an overnight trip to Sutherland in the Northern Cape Province will allow us to view the night sky. This package is at your own cost, all inclusive including accommodation.
