Matt and I will therefore use the August New Moon (falls on the 8th) to meet at in or rather near Coonabarabran for our own mini Astrofest, viewing through both Nocturne and the APM 152mm. That will effectively replace Astrofest for me this year. If the Qld Astrofest does happen in June, I’ll go for the weekends only. The main event will be one more within my control.

I'm packed and ready to go.....

Love the Merc and toy trailer. My goal is to change my X5 for something like your vehicle so I can drive the ‘house’ and telescope simultaneously.
