Just ten days until the next New Moon long week-end at Bretti. Check out Bretti on the light pollution map:

Just drag the map (which opens in europe) over to Australia and zoom in on the east coast, you will find Bretti just northwest of Gloucester NSW. It is DARK!
Compare that to where you live. It's well worth the drive to see what your scope is really capable of showing you.
Dust off your gear and join us for the New Moon period.
