Thats a lot of gear in the car there. How long does it take to set up and pack up? Guess each time you do it, it takes a little less.
When Comet Hyakutake appeared above the dark skies of Gloucester 11 years ago after overcast skies suddnely cleared, I broke all records in setting up my 10 inch scope :)

Thats trusting letting the young fella swing on the astro rig there lol.

One hell of a big setup Mike. Your Son shows it's true size to the photos. Must be a major exercise moving it around and setting it up.
Love the table cloth adds that homely touch.

The skies at Wiruna must be truely spectacular and it is great to see some pics of your setup.

The image with the Kookaburra on you scope is a classic. Love it.
