A complete list of astronomy events for 2022 is available from AstroPixels. Also available here are the SkyNews top 10 astronomical events of 2022, created by Brian Ventrudo, and the IMO 2022 meteor shower calendar.
Observing mostly happens at the ES Fox observatory, but there will be other venues periodically. Observing events at the observatory are open to the public on public viewing nights only. We may not have access on weekdays or weekday evenings during the school year. 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 we will do our best to indicate this on the home page in a timely manner. Note that at most observing locations there are no permanent on-site washroom facilities.
Alcohol/drugs and smoking are prohibited at the observatory at all times.
