Observatory Hire

I thought I would see if there are any takers in hiring the 24" scope thats housed in the 4M dome up at the observatory ( formerly known as Magellan Observatory ).
It has Servo Cat and Argo Navis for GoTo and tracking , Ethos and Nagler Eps , Filter Slider with Ha OIII and UHC filters.
The warm-up shed has basic facilities , gas stove , gas heater and 2 King Single beds linen provided .
Although I would be giving instructions on using it ( its pretty straight forward ) Users would need some experience in astronomy and telescopes.
Lake Bathurst is about 2.5 hours from Sydney and 1 hour from Canberra

$120 per night or $200 for the weekend

Thanks
Zane
