Thanks for the tips from a guy from the North side.

Yes thanks John. My first visit to southern skies will be the next new moon in mid March 2010 and objects on your list as well as assorted other lists and recommendations have been very helpful in helping a guy from 'up north' form his targets.

Of course the entire list is out of the question for a 7 night stay but I hope to break the 3000 logged object observations count all done from +35 degrees or higher using the grand southern objects.

The observers from the south do have a better collection of fine objects overall and I look forward to viewing the treats that await. Have put well over 25 hours and counting in setting up lists, charts, priorities so as to make the most of my stay. Also have spent a great deal of time looking at Starry Night pro with all text off so I will not be (completely) lost down in those most excellent southern skies.

'No worries',
Mark
