South Pacific Star Party
The Annual South Pacific Star Party will be held in Ilford this weekend, May 25–28.
One of the main objectives of the Astronomical Society of NSW [ASNSW] is to bring together people who are interested in Astronomy and related sciences.
The group promotes public interest and education in Astronomy.
Each year, since 1993, the Astronomical Society of New South Wales has hosted the now famous South Pacific Star Party (SPSP).
It is held at a 107 acre (43 hectare) country property Wiruna near Ilford, NSW, between Lithgow and Mudgee. It is about three hours north-west of Sydney, through the Blue Mountains and into the NSW Central Tablelands.
The South Pacific Star Party provides amateurs with the chance to meet other amateur and professional astronomers, and observe under dark skies with superb seeing conditions, through all types and sizes of telescopes.
Please visit the ASNSW website to view the full list of activities, find out more information and directions to the observatory site at www.asnsw.com/node/712#tourism
