Well my first NACAA (National Australian Conference of Amateur Astronomers) is behind me now.
I must say firstly that I was very impressed with the standard of the papers being presented by Amateur Astonomers from across Australia.
Geographiclly speaking, 70% of the county was represented by 3 People.
1. "Blue skies" from the West
2. Ray from Hamilton Island, Qld.
3. And myself for the NT.
There are some very clever people out there making some great contributions to Astronomy & Space Science.
I hope that future NACAA's can appeal to an even wider audience & with an ongoing committee formed for the first time, there is a good chance they will.
I have written a bit of a wrap up of the proceedings which can be found on my Blog page at:
