| The Astronomical Society of Australia has been
      asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical 
      observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education
      and (iii)community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any 
      particular observatory is so designated. Attaining listing as
      a "Designated Optical Observatory" should assist the observatory in 
      presenting a case for protection against obtrusive lighting to local
      councils. 
      Status as a designated observatory will be reviewed every 2 years based 
      on calendar year annual reports submitted in January. Additional 
      information can be mailed. Please fill out the annual report form below and 
      submit it. It will be emailed for you. A Text 
      version is available if your browser doesn't handle forms. If you have any questions contact Mike Bessell
