Last night we held our first ANU Public Viewing Night for 2018, probably close to a 1000 people came up to take a peek through several different type and sized scopes.

The excited, appreciative reactions of an overwhelming majority at seeing even the easiest of targets like the Moon and Jupiter is why I bother.

Yes, there were clouds that threatened to prevent viewing but after an hour things started to clear and we were able to watch Io and its shadow transit as well as the GRS, lots go NGCs, ICs, OCs & GCs.....
