Notes about observing

Observing mostly happens at the ES Fox observatory, but there will be other venues periodically. All observing events require clear skies and are therefore weather dependent. If it is overcast or raining, observing will not be possible; if you arrive at the venue under those conditions, there may not be any BAS members there. If events have been cancelled this will be indicated on the home page.

Observing events at the observatory are open to the public on public viewing nights only. We are not open during weekdays or evenings during the school year.

At most observing locations there are no permanent on-site washroom facilities. A portable washroom is located near the Fox observatory for the summer months only and the washrooms are available at the Learning Centre (key required) at other times.

Alcohol/drugs and smoking are prohibited at the observatory at all times.

BAS meetings

BAS regular meetings typically occur on the first Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. except for January and February (due to possible inclement weather). These meetings are open to the public at no charge. Meetings occur at either the ES Fox observatory or in Bailey Hall (room 315) at Owen Sound District Secondary School (OSDSS).
