Mt Kent Observatory

USQ operates Mt Kent Observatory to support the teaching of astronomy to our students through hands-on observing and the use of robotic and remote-access telescopes accessible over the web.  Observatory facilities are also used to do photometry for steller research.  The Observatory is located at a dark-sky site outside of Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia

Please note that Mt Kent Observatory operates as a USQ teaching laboratory that is normally not open to the public.  If you would like to attend an astronomy field night, see out Astronomy Outreach page.
