I have the boys this weekend.... always seems to happen on new moon weekends these days. Anyways I'd be keen for a get together, admittedly I haven't had the scope out in quite some time. The new mount looks fantastic!!! I find it so much easier and more pleasant when you have a rock solid bino mount. Great pics!!! thanks for sharing it must been an excellent trip. Must take the boys out there one day.

Anyone interested in trying for a get together this weekend or next? Just back from amazing trip to Lake Eyre - see pics of Lake Eyre and the Flinders Ranges. Check out the weather in the photos - 3 degrees one morning but such clear skies. Got a beautiful view of the planetary alignment over the desert. Did NOT want to come back. Have put together a bino mount. Think it will be good when I get the hang of it. I have been a bit slack with Glen's downloads over the last week or two while away - hope you guys have it covered.
