About Paul – Astrophysicist & Night-Sky Guide
Paul Bishop is a qualified astrophysicist with a degree in Astrophysics from Queen Mary, University of London. He has lived in Naseby since 2017, drawn by its exceptional dark skies and high-altitude clarity.
A lifelong stargazer — since watching the Apollo 11 moon landing — Paul now blends scientific expertise with down-to-earth storytelling on every tour. With professional knowledge of stars, galaxies, and the southern night sky, Paul offers an experience that’s educational, accurate, and accessible for all ages.
His role isn’t just as a guide — it’s about science communication and outreach. He has led several tours for school groups of all ages (including Earth & Space Science classes). Paul loves bringing people into the universe and has been part of the movement that helped Naseby become New Zealand’s first officially accredited International Dark Sky Community.
Marketing Manager
Hi, I’m Skye and my role is Marketing and Social Media Manager.
Although studying veterinary science, I have a deep interest in astronomy and photography, often combining the two with night sky photography and entering photo competitions. I also love to paint, curl and 4w-drive.
