• Members Observing Sessions

  Members must contact John Rombi (Stargard) or Tony Law (The Forest) to reserve a place before travelling.

  Members will comply with Government attendance regulations including strict social distancing and other public health requirements. Masks are preferred.

• In the event of poor conditions, Forest weekends will be cancelled and Stargard sessions will be postponed or even brought forward. Before travelling, members should check this page and the Facebook page for updates. See also our Observing page and Field Etiquette page.

• *Time Key for observing sessions: SS = sunset; MS = Moonset; MR = Moonrise

• Macarthur Astronomy Forum

• The Forums are held on the third monday of the month (Jan-Nov) and an earlier Monday in December. They are normally held publicly at Western Sydney University (Campbelltown Campus) but during the public health crisis are being held online, for members only.

Zoom

When logged on to the Zoom meeting, members are requested to aquaint themselves with both the "VIDEO" on/off and sound "MUTE" control buttons, which on a PC are located bottom left. These may both be in the "off" mode when you log on. You need to ensure that your "video" is turned on so that we can all see each other.

Except when you are speaking, please always engage your "MUTE" button to silent, otherwise every slight sound you make will be heard by all. When you wish to speak, you can unmute by pressing the space bar.
