We touched down back in Sydney a couple of days ago...the 11 hour time zone shift, something I don't miss, brought back memories of flying for QF...
hence am still trying to get back to normal hours.
The Brits really did put on a great night. The APOTY display, now in a larger National Maritime Museum venue was awesome. Chatting with the museum Director (an Aussie!) got me a cook's tour of the newly installed the Annie Maunder Astrographic Telescope (AMAT) with their resident Astronomer Brendan Owen.
Also chatted with fellow Aussie Steven Mohr....and was amazed at his remote site set-up, dedication and attention to technique and detail. His galaxy win was well deserved.
We then left Greenwich and toured the Cotswolds for a couple of weeks. Absolutely beautiful countryside and were also blessed with excellent weather
Attached are some more pictures of the event etc.
