Jupiter and Mars after sunrise

[skysurfer]

The first morning I am in Oz (now staying at an airbnb in Kirrawee, NSW) I was up early (but after sunrise and my gf still slept), so I set up my ED110 and looked up Jupiter and Mars. Even Mars was rather easy and the seeing was good. I found Antares and Alpha Centauri as well.
Here a lorrikeet is watching my telescope...

Sounds like a promising start to your trip down under.

Better watch them albino lorrikeets, especially the ones with yellow hats :p

Welcome friend!!

Mars can be quite striking during the day, especially around Opposition.

Those cockatoos sure look friendly.

Enjoy your trip.

Undercover Lorikeets are really dangerous.
They even sound more aggressive.
Hope they didn't eat your scope
