Surrounded by ocean, Governor Phillip Park, Palm Beach (see map) was designated in 2024. The night will be hosted by North Sydney Astronomical Society (NSAS). Our first night in April was amazing and like a window into another world, but some people missed out, so we are putting on this 2nd opportunity. Numbers will again need to be restricted, so please contact Pamela Dawes 0419 036 800 soon. NSAS will be able to supply the telescopes but we will need to restrict numbers to 40. Please bring jumper, snacks, drinks (non alcoholic) and a chair or picnic rug. They allow about 10 people per telescope, each viewing a different area of the sky, so there will be some waiting involved. The event will be weather dependent, of course, as we need a cloud -free night. If it is cloudy weather on the day, we will need to postpone. Location: Palm Beach Limit: 40. View
