Hi guys.
I've got some Japanese monks visiting on Saturday 28th November and they are really excited about getting some visuals on our sky. In Japan, they rarely see the stars. So I'd really like to give them a real experience. There's a bit of moon that night but we've also got some great classics in good positins -Orion complex, LMC, M45, M33 and so on. A bit light on planets though.
I don't own a dob so I wondered if anyone could be persuaded to bring one up and share a really interesting night with these guys. They love a drink, by the way and don't spare the horses, so to speak. They are Yoga Masters who are gurus to my daughter.
This won't w,ork for anyone outside SE Qld. We're located near Somerset Dam (Tenchain Hill).
