A Starry Night with the Hawkesbury Regional Museum

The exhibition contains a history of John Tebbutt and his work through objects and images, interviews with family members and experts and a virtual tour of his observatories.

John Tebbutt was a young man of 26 when he sighted the Great Comet of 1861, leading to a long career as a world renowned, self funded astronomer.

Many people helped with the research for the exhibition by contributing knowledge and interviews, including Dr Andrew Jacob and his astronomical colleague Toner Stevenson.
