Green Point Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Oyster Bay, New South Wales, Australia.
The facility houses a 41-centimeter Newtonian telescope and a 35-centimeter Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, along with a meeting hall for 100 people.
The Sutherland Astronomical Society established Green Point Observatory in 1969, initially as part of the James Cook Astronomers Club until the late 1970s.
The observatory conducts regular Thursday evening sessions for members, featuring guest speaker talks, committee meetings, and cosmology video discussions.
Located at the intersection of Green Point Road and Caravan Head Road, visitors follow a 100-meter westward path through the reserve to reach the building.
The observatory underwent extensive maintenance during COVID-19 lockdowns and received computer-driven upgrades for the 41-centimeter Selby telescope in 2022.
