Hi there and
to IIS!
We have a few french members here (hevelsky and pierre), you may have heard about us from them already..
There's a large number of active IceInSpace observers and astroimagers around the Brisbane area, as well as local clubs - so you won't have any trouble meeting up with some locals to observe or image with. I'm sure they'll chip in here.
Look forward to seeing your images, and I hope you enjoy our beautiful southern skies!
