Accreditation
The ASNSW's Observing Facilities are available for all ASNSW Members to use when an accredited person is on site to supervise. A system of accreditation has been implemented for the use of some facilities outside of normal scheduled observing sessions, and only accredited members may use these facilities at these times, unless accompanied by an accredited member.
Accreditation for Wiruna Facilities and Telescopes
There are separate accreditation requirements for various parts of the Wiruna site:
- lower camp ground;
- main area with amenities including hot and cold running water, flush toilets and showers, and gas stoves; and
- Barry Gerdes Lodge.
There are separate accreditation requirements for the Wiruna telescopes:
- The 17½" telescope and enclosure;
- The 25" telescope and enclosure; and
- other telescopes on site.
Regulars at Wiruna should enquire with the Vice-President, Wiruna, or other committee member regarding accreditation.
Members wishing to gain accreditation for the use of any of these facilities are invited to email the committee for further details and to book a time and date for an accreditation session.
