Had some visitors from Norway up to Eagleview over the weekend and the sky turned it on for them with perfect mild, windless, dark Moonless conditions. They had recently visited St Pedro d Atacama in Chile and visited a commercial telescope tourist facility but after watching the Milky Way slowly rise in the South East, over a few hours, with the lights off, they said they felt Eagleview skies were better

it
was a great night...eating and drinking outside under a beautiful dark sky is hard to beat

...even my non-astro wife took some astrophotos with her phone

Our Norwegian friends were keen to see the legendary square poo of our Wombats too and they even got to enjoy some of that
