Your first visit.
A whole new perspective.
You don’t need a telescope or a background in astronomy. Bring your curiosity—we’ll help with the rest.
Join a club night
Our public meetings start at 7.30 pm on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, March to November. Enjoy astronomy presentations and telescope viewing when the weather allows.
TAS members and children aged 15 and under attend free. Payment is by cash or internet banking; EFTPOS is not available.
