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.
