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

Bring your own consumables if you plan to BBQ. Enter the Harding’s Paddock Picnic area via Carmichaels Rod off the Ipswich-Boonah Road. The entrance gate to the picnic area will be locked by the Park Ranger at about 6:00pm, so please arrive prior to that. BAS will have the code to the gate combination lock to allow departure later in the evening. The telescope setup area is on the open grassed field on the south side of the picnic area. You may need to move equipment about 20m to set-up, so bring a trolley if required. The site has a BBQ, picnic table, running water and toilet. Limited overnight camping is permitted, but let BAS know in advance if you plan to camp the night.

The Warwick Gliding Club (WGC) has generously consented for BAS members to periodically utilise its clubhouse and facilities at the Warwick Airport. On selected consecutive Friday and Saturday nights close to the New Moon, BAS members may attend these evenings under wonderfully dark Darling Downs skies. The WGC clubhouse has limited bunk bed accommodation capacity, so about 10 BAS members may attend on any night. The clubhouse has an excellent kitchen, TV room, lounge room, toilet and shower facilities. Members are required to entirely self-cater, or another option is Warwick just 15 minutes drive away.

Please inform the BAS coordinator of these events if you plan to attend for one or both nights – please email warwick@bas.asn.au  You will require a security gate access code to enter the airport property. The event coordinator will provide you with the gate code.

These evenings are conducted for the benefit of BAS Members. This is an opportunity for deep-sky observing and astrophotography under and good dark sky.
