being in Cairns, a fair bit of that book will be relevant. when they talk about summer months, its winter for us (just invert the images) etc. its a great book.

there are limiting latitude factors but most are visable given a good nothern horizon. the main thing is our southern skies are usually always redily available unlike the northern skies which come and go...

btw nice scope choice, and clear skies.
