Member Viewing Nights

Each month, the Society runs viewing nights and other activities for the benefit of its members. Dark sky locations are conveniently located North, South and East of Adelaide. All sites are open at least once a month, and members are welcome to bring their own telescopes.

Stockport has a BBQ and coffee/tea facilities, which are usually fired up before sunset on scheduled members' nights. This provides members with an opportunity to socialise and share stories.
