Well a few of us from our local society thought we would have a night out at the Great Aussie Resort for viewing.
An excellent night of viewing was had with to many objects viewed to go into detail but Einstein's Cross with 30" will give you an indication of how deep we were going.
The views of the Orionids was nothing short of spectacular, with one sporadic on the SW horizon probably being one of the best I've ever seen.
Anyway here's a few pics of some of the gang.
Me left holding the baby. :lol:
Me & Mick (cosmik18) contemplating the universe.
Relaxing by the pool before the evening observing. L-R Petra (spacezebra), Carl (carl), Anna (anna), Dave (The Unbeliever), Mick (cosmik18).
The last three. Setting up for the evening.
