Mt. John Observatory is 1,029 metres atop Mount John at the northern end of the Mackenzie Basin in the South Island.
Mount John rises quite steeply as a single mountain right next to the town of Lake Tekapo with the famous Church of the Good Shepherd on the shores of Lake Tekapo. On its summit, it's the leading New Zealand observatory and a large area around Mt John is a light sanctuary.
It overlooks the (bigger) Lake Tekapo in turquoise and the (smaller) Lake Alexandrina.
