Brisbane Astronomical Society will conduct this public telescope evening in partnership with the Witton Barracks Community Hub adjacent to Witton Barracks Park and Indooroopilly Railway Station, 9 Lambert Road, Indooroopilly.

Telescopes will be available for the public to view the moon and various astronomical objects such as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. This is a family event and caters for young children learning about space and our solar system planets. Telescopes will be operational from a little after sunset through to about 8pm.

Weather and event status updates will be posted in the Brisbane Astronomical Society facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BrisbaneAstronomicalSociety

The telescopes will be set up in the courtyard between the hub buildings. Walk through the park and up the driveway between the buildings.

The event is free, but if you would like to make a gold-coin donation, it will be gratefully accepted.

These evenings provide an opportunity for the public to learn a little about astronomy and get to observe some amazing astronomical objects through some impressive telescopes.

BAS members extend across South-East Queensland from Brisbane to the Darling Downs, Sunshine Coast and beyond. As a result it is impossible to physically bring all our members together for meeting. However, in addition to regular emails to members, we also aim to conduct regular member-wide communication opportunities via on-line Zoom meeting. These meeting are open to BAS members and the public.

Zoom meeting dates will published on our public event website calendar. Zoom links will be emailed to members and also published on the Announcements block on the top-right side of our website Home Page.
