I would like to participate in a star party, to start off my involvement with astronomy.
Can anyone advise, if there are any been planned around Melbourne or within 50 km of the city?
Not sure about anything formal planned. The ASV had a star party at Heatcote last weekend but unfortunately the only thig that did not come to the party was a clear sky.
There have been a couple of us trying to arrange a bit of a group observing session north of Melbourne for a bit. We got all arranged but then got rained out on the day.
Maybe we should have another crack over the holiday period.
