Hi All,

My first post and i was wondering of there are any iceinspace members who are also members of the macarthur astronomy society. i have just recently moved from Penrith to Mt Annan and would like to make contact with anybody who can fill me in on the goings on of the MAS.

Cheers,

Colin.

its the last one for the year. we will be having Bishop Chris Toohey writes for sky and space mag, lectures at uni on astronomy coming in. not sure what he will be talking bout tho. they'll talk about the various viewing nights that have happened, umm... we have regular articles in the local newspaper... I really dont know beyond that. tea n' coffee... more talks?

Do the club have anything to do with the two astrodomes at the campus? I helped to assemble them a few years ago.astroron
