Nelson/Tasman Live Camera – Weather and Stargazing

Welcome!
Watch our lovely region - in real-time - located at the top of the South Island.
The Nelson/Tasman region boasts high sun hours compared to most other areas in NZ, around 2600+ anually, beautiful beaches like Kaiteriteri, tramping/hiking opportunities like the Abel Tasman National Park, and other local attractions like Pics Peanut Butter and others.
Maybe you will see a few meteors.. or a few hundred satellites - whatever is happening it is always different!

The best nights are clear and moonless. If the solar activity is high at that time we can also get some beautiful colours and beams.

Check out our uploaded videos for past timestamps and time lapse recordings of our night sky.

We stream at 4K/2160p so for best viewing quality make sure to set your video to the highest resolution! (Settings cog -- quality -- 2160p if available)

Note: for night footage we have it set to a slower shutter speed bringing out the colours as opposed to black and white IR footage.
This means that when the moon is between quarter--full--quarter, the nights look like daytime.

Camera is located in Kina - Tasman and is looking south, towards Wakefield and beyond. -- WISP Tasman

This 4K camera captures sweeping pastoral landscapes and stargazing opportunities across the Tasman region, with views of rolling farmland, ponds, and distant mountains. It's an ideal window into clear southern skies for aurora hunting and meteor watching, particularly on moonless nights when solar activity is high.
