Telescope observing evening for BAS members and their guests. This is not a public observing evening.

We will be operating under Queensland Covid-19 restrictions.

• maximum of 20 participants
• wide social distancing telescope setup spacing
• no sharing of equipment without liberal use of sanitiser product on gear and by users
• name and contact details to be provided to the event coordinator on the night.

The site is a privately owned aero modelling field (Calvert Aero Modelling Society – Gratton Field) kindly made available to BAS by the owners.  The entrance is off Bourkes Road, West, a few minutes drives west of Rosewood.  The property entrance track has a strict speed limit of 20kph, in order to minimise dust and damage to the track surface.  This limit is strickly applied – so stick to it!  The telescope setup area is on the open grassed field just to the north of the aero club buildings.  The site has excellent facilities – toilets, kitchen, refrigerator, kettle, clubhouse lounge area.  An attendance fee of $10/telescope is payable on the night.

Event start time is from around sunset.

These nights are designed to assist members of BAS that are learning how to setup and operate their telescope or other astro gear.  While the location is within the Brisbane metro light pollution bubble, it still provides sufficient stars to practice telescope alignment on bright stars and even polar alignment for members interested in astrophotography.

All BAS members experienced with computerised telescopes are encouraged to attend to provide assistance to others.

Attendees should aim to arrive on-site a minimum of 30 minutes before sunset. This allows easier initial equipment assembly, which can become a source of frustration after dark.

A Facebook Event will be posted about 10 days prior to each date.  Please “click Going” if you plan to attend.  That will allow BAS to inform you if the event needs to be cancelled due to weather conditions.

The location is: Tingalpa Aero Modelling Club, Stanton Road, West, Tingalpa.
