I had an amazing time at the star party, it was totally worth the trip to Australia and I definitely want to come back! Great luck with the weather too, I had already been imaging every day to 5am almost the entire week, such wonderful skies. It was good to catch up with a few people I met at the Takahashi star party too.
Pictures from Friday & Saturday night are on my
FB page if anyone is interested. Such a great atmosphere with amateur astronomers & big telescopes in the foreground and you can't get a better background than the Milky Way Center for your shots!
I put the pictures on my
Flickr too (higher quality.)
Now I just need a star party to visit for the June New Moon, haha.
