HI all,

Our latest trip to the Outback of Australia was great fun - 4 priceless nights 
of astro imaging, a week of digging dinosaurs, and another week traveling, 
fossil collecting and meeting old and new friends.  Here is the first of what 
will be many new postings from this trip, a 17mm wide angle shot on the 
Auroracam II mount of the Southwestern sky right after twilight.

You can see many familiar sights here - Alpha Centauri, Eta Caraina and the 
star cluster gems round the southern cross.  Our latitude was -21 here, and the 
sky measured 21.6 mag on the SQM.
