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 our Dark of the Moon nights only. If you're interested in coming to the observatory on a different night, send us an email using the Contact us page and we will see if we can accommodate you.
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.
