Gold Coast Astro Club?

[Chief Wiggum]

Hi, I'm only fairly new to the whole astronomy hobby and was wondering if anyone could recommend any groups that meet on the Gold Coast. I find that I can only learn so much on the net without the first hand experience.

Thanks
Warrick :help:

P.S. I love this website, worth it's weight in gold!

Hi Warrick, thanks for the feedback!

In SEQLD, there's a couple of active ones including SEQAS and AAQ. Check out the Club Listing (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/?club_listing) page for their details.

There's also an active IIS contingent in the SEQ area that meets up at a local dark sky site at Cambroon. Keep an eye on the "Star Parties" forum for a thread near new moon.

Hi Warrick,

The SAS is a club for the Gold-coast to Logan area. They meet at Pimpama school once a month and hold monthly dark sky camps at Leyburn. Website

Matt.

I somehow knew there was a SAS but thought I was thinking about SASI in Southerland NSW.

I'll add SAS to the list.

Warrick

you just missed our meeting on Saturday night. If you go to the website that Matt provided you can find the Event Horizon document that will have dates and times for the upcoming meetings.

Thanks Andrew. I'm really looking forward to it.
