Sharing the sky

Sharing the night sky is one of our core purposes. For over 50 years, MPAS members have brought astronomy to the people of the Mornington Peninsula and beyond — to the public, to schools, to Scouts and Guides, and to community events of all kinds.

Whoever you are, there’s a way to look through our telescopes. Choose the option that suits you below.
