Nice report Gunther. Those faint targets sound like shooting fish in a barrel from a dark site. I grew up in inland South Australia and I have never since observed under such dark and transparent skies. Certainly the observing there in outback SA would rival anything in the world for darkness.
Two things I did this year that made winter observing so much better. I bought a really nice, warm sleeping bag from Kathmandu. These good ones are $500 but I waited for the sale and got it half price. Secondly I bought a freezer suit from Geoff here on IIS and I became impervious to the cold.
