2011 Observing And Public Viewing Schedule

Public Viewing Sessions always occur on the Friday/Saturday closest to the New Moon and are hosted at Darling Hill Observatory. Other sessions will be announced on the front page of the website.

Other Observing Times

The SAS hosts several sessions for organizations throughout the year. If you wish to schedule an event, please contact us with an estimate of observing dates (it is often necessary (and best) to schedule both an official observing date and a “rain date” in case of poor observing weather).
