I have been wanting to view some of these recent and upcoming events. But! All of my gear I have with me for the recent South Pacific Star Party is securely packed at the bottom of all of our camping gear and is just too much trouble to unpack and then repack!
Shall have to be patient till I am back home in mid June.
We had two good nights at the SPSP. I completed Joe's Leo double star challenge on the first night - I still need to report on this. On the second night, I was swamped with visitors wanting to look through my scope. I did mange a look through some of the very big scopes at the usual favourites. They were just fantastic under such dark skies.
