Hi there
Curious if there are many observers in adelaide region.
I work a lot and have a toddler so spare time is absent at the moment.
Would love to know if there is a page or site adelaide specific.
If not i wouldn't be surprised.
I think there is a society here but not looking for a paid membership yet.
Really just seeing if there is a way to be in the loop for all things space and adelaide, even if its just a coffee and chat half the time.
My set up and knowledge is minimal but my tenacity is boundless.
An ASSA membership is pretty cheap, and includes access to a nice monthly newletter for the full fee, or access to the PDF for a reduced fee. Access to dark skies a couple of times a month. You're down South if my stalking proves correct, so that would be Tooperang.
Another ASSA member here, well worth it to join and not that much really. Looks like you are on the right side of the Torrens send me a PM if you want to catch up.
As a member of council I encourage you to join ASSA and benefit from the things we offer. During the summer we offer viewing nights in the city limits at several sites. We do have several dark sky sites available too with viewing nights as mentioned a couple of times a month. There is of course the bulletin which provides a whole raft of information.
Most importantly we cater for people of all levels of knowledge and it is our primary function to provide education to the public. There is a course held for beginners with monthly lectures which will give you an understanding of the night sky and the objects contained within the universe.
There is also a meeting once a month which is open to the public, held at the Grant Kerr lecture theatre at Adelaide University. The meeting starts at 8pm on the first Wednesday of the month. This months meeting has a short talk on astronomical anniversaries for the annual elections occur of office bearers. You are most welcome to come along if you wish.
He'll teach you how to chop an onion. And how to **** up the tiles on your roof!
Very well done sir. The tile thing was quite some time ago now, your stalking is indeed correct. I don't normally lol but this time you have earned one. Lol
