If you’re around Melbourne, interested in astronomy and fancy visiting a community powered astronomical observatory that has a very active outreach and amateur astronomy focus then can I interest you in the Mount Burnett Observatory open day this Saturday (January 23rd) from noon onwards?

We’re going to have all sorts of things going on – talks, telescopes, radio astronomy, tours of the observatory dome (originally built by Monash University), lots of enthusiastic volunteers!

We’re fundraising to build a new accessible modern dome to complement the existing facilities so please come and help us out.
