Urban Observers

Join us for Urban Observers, a FREE monthly community sky watching event hosted by SEQAS, held in the scenic Bracken Ridge Reserve off Jude Street. Weather permitting, it's your chance to explore the wonders of the night sky through telescopes, whether you're a first-time stargazer or an experienced telescope owner looking for expert tips and guidance.

Meet fellow enthusiasts, share your passion, and uncover fascinating celestial objects together! Our gatherings typically align with the First Quarter Moon, ensuring there's always the stunning half-moon to observe, even on cloudier nights. We also host special stargazing events throughout the year for extraordinary celestial occurrences like lunar eclipses or comet viewings. Don't miss out, come be part of this exciting community adventure!

The purpose of the Urban Observing Outreach Program is to make amateur astronomy accessible to those who want to enjoy the wonders of the heavens in the comfort of their own city  and to maximize the observing experience despite the presence of light pollution. If you think a trip to the country is necessary to observe celestial objects, take a second look.

Viewing the sky from an urban location can be just as fun and educational -- if you know how to go about it.
