CAO 2018 Spring Work Party - No more volunteers required.
Due to an enthusiastic response, we are no longer accepting volunteers for the Spring Work Party as we have reached our capacity in being able to provide a place to sleep as well as cooking for everyone.
This year, the Carr Astronomical Observatory (CAO) is celebrating its 20th anniversary. This site and the facilities that we continue to use today could not have reached this milestone without the countless hours put in by RASC-TC volunteers at work parties to do regular maintenance and to make improvements.

City Star Party (GO for Thursday)
Hover above the moon like an astronaut and get eye-to-eye with the planets. Find colourful stars, star clusters, bright nebulae and even another galaxy. Our monthly City Star Party is the place to catch universe from within the city limits at Bayview Village Park. If you don't have a telescope then you will find many astronomers who would love to share a view. If you are thinking of buying a telescope, viewing with other people's equipment is the best way to make a good choice. If you have a telescope or binoculars, please bring it!
