VASTROC 2011
Thank you to all participants
to this event! It was a great experience shared by all.
Thank you to all MPAS members and those external
contributors for their efforts to make this event a success.
For more than twenty years now
astronomical societies around Victoria have been getting
together every two years at an event called VASTROC
[Victorian Astronomy Convention].
The VASTROC is an opportunity to get to know the other
Victorian societies and meet like-minded amateurs from
across the state to share stories, experiences and hopefully
come away with new ideas about amateur astronomy. The
convention is a mixture of social get-togethers, special
topic discussions and in some cases How-To Workshops.
VASTROC events are hosted by Victorian Societies and each
event moves from society to society. Interstate attendees
are also always welcome.
The Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society will host
the 2011 VASTROC over the weekend of April 29th to May 1st,
and we hope to attract participation from all the Victorian
societies.
While the detailed activities programme for the 2011
VASTROC is only in its early phases we hope to have
workshops on instrument making, astrophotography, projects
for amateurs plus how-to observing programmes, public
education activities and the ever popular open forums.
The venue for the 2011 VASTROC will be the Briars Camp
and our nearby MPAS ‘Briars Astronomy Centre’, Mt Martha on
the Mornington Peninsula.
