But here’s a tip: it’s even better if you know which constellations to look for, and this depends on when you’re travelling. Due to the earth’s rotation, the positions of constellations change from month to month. Some winter constellations are almost completely absent in summer, for example.
Here’s our guide to some of the easiest (and most interesting) constellations to spot by season when you’re staying at Reflections.
The Sydney Oservatory publishes a Monthly Sky Guide that is an excellent tool for star watchers to Reflections Holiday Parks. These include a written guide (also available as a podcast) and a sky chart showing the stars, constellations and planets visible for the month ahead.
