Unofficial star party Apr 6th 2024 Canberra region

Hi all,

The title says it all. If the weather is favourable, I am planning to spend the night of Saturday 6th of April at the old Orroral Valley tracking station just south of Canberra. It will be just a couple of days short of the next new moon, so as long as there is no cloud, the conditions should be good. It's an amazing Bortle 2 site with wide open skies that I've been to several times over the last few years.

This is the Google Maps link to the site: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FDbSHkc9xdqpB1WX8

If anyone is interested, I would love to have some company for an unofficial star party. Even if no one is interested, I'll be there on my own (as long as the night is clear). From all my lurking on the Ice in Space forums, I know that there are some great astrophotographers within a few hours of that location including Canberra, adjacent South Coast and inland regions. It would be great to meet in person those that I've only met online. Please let me know if you are interested.

Cheers, Kevin
