Thanks for the encouragement guys, it really was the best night I’ve ever had. I’m wondering Andrew, did any of you guys notice any light above Warrick. I was in “Federation Park” only about 10km out of Toowoomba. It’s more like a rest area that allows for up to 48hour stop over’s with toilets/BBQ/Gazebos/children’s play area/Water –pliers needed-/ and so forth. The area is quite windy much of the time, however I set-up in one of the few hollow creek beds and find it makes a huge difference with not only the wind but also the morning dew that can build up in the middle of winter. You can still see a halo of light over Toowoomba, but it makes a huge difference up near the zenith & in general. From my direction, warrick is more south and I may have mistaken simple sky glow along the horizon where the milky pops up from for light pollution? None the less I checked Leyburn on my phone (been shaped again : ( ) & it looks like a really good spot to observe from. I believe some of the good folk here have mentioned Leyburn to me before. I’m up for a PM if you’re interested in letting me know about any observing sessions you may be have coming up from time to time. Probably best to email me on dmkynaston@gmail.com. I’m easy either way. Perhaps you could pass on my email there or add it to a list of interested people?
