My name is Freidl Hale. I am an experienced astronomy guide with a lifelong passion for my subject. I have worked professionally with the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and more recently as a guide at Mount John Observatory in Lake Tekapo.

It's amazing what you can see and learn about the universe with just your eyes and your curiosity -- I'd love to tell you in person about our beautiful southern night sky.

Watch the Astro Blog for articles about current events in astronomy and other topics of astronomical interest.

I hope to see you soon!
