Welcome to the Townsville Astronomy Group. We are a community of enthusiasts with a common interest in astronomy, astrophotography, space exploration and all related matters. We are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and the beauty of the night skies, for this reason we aim to provide a home for similar minded people in the greater Townsville region.
Well we cant build this without the money folks so we are fundraising down at the Strand ( McKinley St roundabout) on Wednesday evenings - come and have a look through the group's telescopes and if you like what you see feel free to drop a coin ( or note) into the tin - with thanks
The Townsville Astronomy Group (TAG) has formed a project team to create an exciting new community facility- the Townsville Observatory.
Welcome to the Townsville Astronomy Group Project. This endeavour was born out of the announcement in 2012 that James Cook University was to close its Astronomy Faculty.

Our main activities are regular meetings for astronomical observations and exchange of information, dedicated viewings for schools and other organisations and the maintenance of a web presence for the community.
Our longer term goal is the establishment of a permanent observatory for the Townsville region both for educational purposes and as an additional tourist attraction. Both of these will contribute locally and will develop our regions profile as an active and forwarding thinking community. I urge anyone reading this to consider joining us in this very worthwhile pursuit.
