Hi Michael,

No, it is not open for stargazing.

It is private property. The previous resident passed away and since then there is no access for stargazing.

I will add that it never was, and won't be open to anyone who feels like rocking up on the night.

BTW the temperatures there are much the same as at Hargraves/Mt Blackheath which are better sites, as the airfield does have some visible light pollution from Katoomba (south) and Blackheath (west), whereas Mt Blackheath in particular is much darker, with the township to the east (under the light dome of Sydney).

Main point is to rug up properly with full thermals or ski gear if you have it, a knitted beanie, gloves and a decent jacket. A balaclava too, if you have one as the night-time winter temps can be -5, plus whatever chill factor from the wind (and its windy tonight).
