Sound like it could be the Dark Doodad Paul. There is a nice Glob near the
southern
end of it, did you see that too? The Dark Doodad is a nice object in bino's too
since
it is so large.
Great skies last night got home a bit late to setup, beside my yard is a one
stop from
being a swamp so don't really want my scope sitting in it.
The boy's and I were over in Lismore watching the off road RC racing yesterday.
Quite
a few people there. Some came from Brisbane and as far south as Coffs.
Cheers,CS
Rob

Hi Graham,
I've heard of the "dark doodad", but that's about it.
The dark area was underneath the Coal Sack, about
1 Crux length below (if you know what i mean, and
it was crescent shaped and quite large. Maybe too
much red wine and I was seeing things!!!
Cheers, Paul.

Paul thanks for all that info. Seems like you're a bit of an expert on good
'off the beaten track' camping spots!
I will be sure to consult you next time I want to go camping.

Hi Judith,
Torrington is a conservation area a few k's west of the
village of Torrington. You get there by driving south
of Tenterfield towards Glen Innes until you get to
Deepwater, then turn right. There are only a few walks
there, it's a bit undeveloped, but the 4WD tracks are
usually open. Lots of old mines in the area including
the remains of the Ottery Arsenic Mine on the road
to Emmaville. The arsenic was used for animal pest
control and also injected into Prickly Pear.
Torrington State Conservation Area (full title) is very
much like all that granite country. Bald Rock and
Girraween are much easier to explore. During the
Easter break the rangers said that Bald Rock was
jammed full, while Torrington only had a few campers
in each of the three small campgrounds.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi gang,
Just to make you all a bit jealous, we just had
a great Easter break at Torrington SCA, between
Tenterfield and Glen Innes, about 30 mins drive
west of the New England highway. A few fluffy clouds
but mostly blue sky, huge granite boulders, 4WD tracks
old mines and very few campers. Should have taken the
20x80's as the sky between the trees was stunning. I saw
what looked like a large crescent shaped dark nebula
below Crux and the Coal Sack. Haven't seen that before.
Will post a couple of landscape pics later.
Cheers, Paul.

That's the one Vince. I've wanted to do it for ages and now that I've taken
some leave, I have the time. And on the guy's website
there's a way of assembling it totally from parts without having to make
anything except the counterweight. Too easy. With my poor
eyesight I figure I'm mostly gonna be using binos so I thought a mount would be
a good idea.
Turns out my sister has a tripod that might work so I'll only have to get the
monopod and something called an Interfit tripod clamp
to join the monopd to the tripod. Feels like meccano!
This weather.....!!!!!
