Hasil analisis situasi di Kabupaten Buleleng menemukan bahwa guru Astronomi yang mengajar di sekolah menengah yang ada di wilayah Kabupaten Buleleng masih banyak yang belum sesuai kualifikasinya dengan bidang tugasnya. Oleh karena itu perlu diadakan kegiatan re-freshing program dalam upaya peningkatan kualitas penguasaan materi Astronomi. Mengingat cakupan materi Astronomi relatif luas, dalam kegiatan P2M ini, refreshing program dibatasi pada materi bola langit dan tata koordinat bagi guru-guru SMA di Kabupaten Buleleng untuk mengantisipasi rendahnya prestasi belajar siswa dalam bidang astronomi serta sebagai persiapan menuju olimpiade Astronom. Realisasi kegiatan dilakukan dengan memberikan penyegaran materi dan pelatihan penyelesaian soal-soal olimpiade Astronomi, bertempat di FMIPA Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa secara umum pelaksanaan pelatihan berjalan baik. Tingkat penguasaan guru dalam bidang bola langit dan tatakoordinat meningkat sebesar 3,2 poin setelah pelatihan (rata-rata pretest = 4,1 kategori kurang dan rata-rata posttest = 7,3 kategori baik). Respon peserta terhadap pelatihan yang dilaksanakan adalah positif dan guru-guru sangat antusias mengikuti pelatihan hingga selesai. Kendala yang ditemui dalam pelaksanaan pelatihan adalah tinggkat kesukaran soal olimpiade relatif sulit sehingga diperlukan waktu lebih banyak dalam pembahasan soal.
