to IIS Deeno, and thanks for the feedback.
I notice you're on the central coast too - where abouts are you? I live at Wyoming.
Are you coming up to
IISAC2007 in January? I'd strongly suggest you come along, if you can.
There's some great dark skies, lots of telescopes to look through and a great chance to meet and make some friends, and win some great prizes!
On the new moon in February, we'll be heading up to Kulnura where we do some observing each month. It's on the way to Koolang - about 30 minutes closer to Somersby. Not as dark as Koolang, but not bad - and great company too.
Hope to see you soon!
