Hello to all, the Fraser Coast Stargazers monthly open night is a star party that encourages both amateur astronomers and not-yet-astronomers to meet and mix for the purpose of sharing and learning the night sky at the stunning small seaside town of River Heads Qld.

We welcome people of all experience levels to participate and contribute, we are relaxed and social and enjoy sharing our knowledge and the night sky with all who attend.

Location maps are available for anyone that would like to attend, and we enjoy viewing most all of the seasonal deep sky objects and of course we see planets rise over Fraser Island and the great sandy straights.

For more info please PM me or phone 07-41258006

All are welcome:welcome:

CS to all, Steve.

Decembers Fraser Coast open astronomy night at River Heads was a bit light on telescopes and astronomers, but busy with locals and visitors celebrating and enjoying the 9/10 seeing conditions with much christmas cheer.

20-30 people enjoyed most all of the popular objects and faint fuzzy's between 7pm amd 12.30 am, and santa's slay made an appearance at 1900 hrs high in the eastern sky (thanks iridium 70). :lol:

There will be another open star party in January and all are welcome.
Location maps are available for interested stargazers and astronomers.
:welcome:
Wishing everyone a safe and merry christmas,
Steve
