2025 Activities

Shoalhaven Astronomers (SA) resumed normal association activities in January 2025. The 2025/26 AGM was held at our meeting on July 18 at 7PM.

The executive and committee for the 2025/26 FY was elected and the direction of the association for the next year was set – in summary, a swag of presentations, participation in public events (the next of which is Science Week on 16Aug25) and more observation activities.

The AGM was followed by normal general meeting activities.

Following the meeting on Friday 18Jul25 an observation session was programmed for Saturday 19Aug25 which experienced clear skies ands good viewing using all 3 telescopes in the observatory and one of our 8″ Meade LX90’s setup outside. Excellent views of the Jewel Box and Eta Carinae Nebula were seen.

Our next meeting will be @ 7pm 15Aug25 at the UOW Shoalhaven Campus.

Weather permitting, our next observation session will be @ sunset on Saturday 16Aug25 at our observatory on the UOW Shoalhaven Campus. SA members & guests are welcome to attend and participate in some practical astronomy.
