BAS Members Event Calendar
All the events listed in this calendar are for Brisbane Astronomical Society members and their invited guests. These events are not open to the public. We are generally so busy trying to get our astro-equipment to work that we really do not have time to attend to any public visitors. Sorry, but our time under the stars is limited and precious.
In recent years we have experienced frequent bad weather that has forced the cancellation of many of our planned astronomy evenings and events. For 2025 we have scheduled extra BAS member’s events for Calvert and Warwick. Some of these dates precede or follow the actual New Moon date. As a result, some dates will experience a degree of Moon intrusion into the evening. However, adding these extra dates will increase the opportunity to enjoy a clear-sky night.
A read-only copy of the Excel spreadsheet of all 2025 event dates is available here: https://bas.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/BAS-2025-calendar-draftNov9.pdf

These evenings are conducted for the benefit of BAS Members at the Warwick and District Archers site 15 minutes drive south-west of Warwick. This is not an event open to the general public night.
The Warwick Archers have a large hill-side lease on Ford Road, Rosenthal Heights, Warwick. Google Maps location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gikrxSm3iKKStain6
Access is easiest by taking Glen Road west from the Warwick Hospital and, after about 7km drive, turing left onto Ford Road. The Archers entrance gate is well signposted.
It is strongly recommended that you contact the BAS President and ask to be added to the Warwick Archer’s email list. Final event organisation is communicated via email.
However, please be aware there is no 240V power and no true overnight accommodation. Plenty of space for camping and also a swag on the dining pavilion floor is an option.
If BAS members demonstrate sufficient interest in the location we will explore opportunities to create accommodation on-site. At present, you should be prepared to camp on-site.

Event Details
These evenings are conducted for the benefit of BAS Members at the Warwick and District Archers site 15 minutes drive south-west of Warwick. This is not an event open to the general public night.
The Warwick Archers have a large hill-side lease on Ford Road, Rosenthal Heights, Warwick. Google Maps location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gikrxSm3iKKStain6
Access is easiest by taking Glen Road west from the Warwick Hospital and, after about 7km drive, turing left onto Ford Road. The Archers entrance gate is well signposted.
It is strongly recommended that you contact the BAS President and ask to be added to the Warwick Archer’s email list. Final event organisation is communicated via email.
However, please be aware there is no 240V power and no true overnight accommodation. Plenty of space for camping and also a swag on the dining pavilion floor is an option.
If BAS members demonstrate sufficient interest in the location we will explore opportunities to create accommodation on-site. At present, you should be prepared to camp on-site.
