Your guided tour of the night sky under the dome
Mount Burnett Observatory Inc. is a not-for-profit astronomical society based at Mount Burnett in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. The Observatory was originally built in 1972 by Monash University.
MBO formally took over the site in 2011, and built it up to a thriving community observatory. Our aim is to preserve the facility and to use it to promote astronomy and science to the broader community.
MBO acknowledges that they are meeting on the lands of the Wurunjeri people and the Bunurong people of the South East Kulin nation.

The Moon joins Jupiter and Saturn tonight for a lovely conjunction. Pop outside after sunset and have a look!
Pluto is also at the party, but is far too faint to see without a large telescope.
Neil is going to try is luck with the weather tonight and make the most of the new moon to do some live astrophotography. We'll be starting a bit later tonight because it won't get fully dark till 10pm. Pop by and see what's in the sky!
