Here goes:
- Flying in a 747 to Europe from OZ and in the middle of the night using a blanket as a light cover to observe M31 with my 10 x 50 binoculars whilst everyone else was asleep. A bit like being in an airborne observatory
- Moutaineering in NZ and having a 33 hr overnight epic stuck on an ice arete with 1000 meter drops on either side and having the stars in Orion and the summer milky way keep me company whilst belaying my climbing partner
- Getting on the roof of the house we use to live in with my binoculars tso try and get a view of a comet low in the sky. I forget which comet it was, but remember my neighboors waking up wondering if someone was trying to break into our house!
