Last year I used facebook to organise what I assumed would be a sparsely attended public observing night at Boyd Park in Nundah. Obviously, given the inner city location, the moon and the planets were the primary targets. The event was extremely well supported and we believe there were around 300 people in attendance and the scouts put on the obligatory sausage sizzle.

Even though we did have about ten scopes present the queues were too long.

I am planning to hold a second session now and the date set is Saturday 7th September. The choice of date is determined by the fact that I want it to be a Saturday and the moon, Jupiter and Saturn should be visible in the early evening.

I would really appreciate anyone in the community that may be able to come along with their scope. I’m sure we will achieve similar to larger numbers this year and more scopes than last year would help make it successful.

Please PM me if you’re able to come along with a scope.
