Rob, forecast for tomorrow and Sat both looking promising - do you have a preference? I think if there's a clear night we go for it.

Would really like to try Deep Creek where there should be no lights what so ever out there. Hot chocolate and your biscuits will be lovely too!

I'd be keen to come out your way and take the 16" out to one of the new spots that you have yet to try out - I'm offering a thermos of hot chocolate and home made biscuits as an incentive!!

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.
