Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Astronomical Association of Queensland (AAQ) is Queensland’s original astronomical body, with its history extending back to 1896, when a group of people met in Brisbane and agreed to collectively purchase a 6-inch Grubb telescope for £70. The Association’s principal objectives are the fostering of the science of astronomy, encompassing research and public education, and the encouragement and support of observational astronomy.
- Meetings are held monthly at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium and regular field nights are held in Brisbane and at dark sky sites. The AAQ publishes a monthly newsletter, an annual proceedings and has an extensive library available to members.
