7pm tour weather update

At the moment, it is very foggy, and the humidity is too high to set up telescopes, so I have to cancel this tour. I will transfer a refund to you tonight, you will receive it in 10 business days. If you wish to transfer to the 9pm tour or tomorrow  night, please an email to info@chameleonstargazing.com

 

It is a shame that we cannot see stars tonight, hope to see you next time. Have a good night.

9pm tour weather update

It is mostly clear, our tour will go ahead. The meeting point is  (please only use Google Maps)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/i9LDXuuRcmH7G5eSA?g_st=ifm

you will need to drive on a gravel road for 200 meters, then you will see a sign with a red light that says ”Chameleon Stargazing”, you need to turn right at the sign and enter the gate marked with 2 red lights.

Once you enter, you will find a second sign, depending on which tour you are joining you will need to either turn left (Engli sh Tour) or keep straight (Mandarin Tour). Drive for another 100 meters and you will find the location with red lights on. We don’t have a toilet on site, please get ready before coming to the site. See you soon
