I am just packing up after having a great week in Brisbane, getting together with a number of Iceinspacer's.
"mhodson, Astro_south,Striker, Andrew2
,Graham & others.
Thanks all for a great time
The dark skies of Gatton are worth the drive !
Highlight: Seeing the "Humonculus?" Nebula around the star Eta Carina.
Right up there with a first time view of M42, Saturn .....etc
Also attended a Public night at the botanic gardens by BAS, SAS & the planetarium.
I love these type of nights, got quite a bit of interest with my little Astroscan too
Lots of "Where do I get one of those" questions.
I have really come to apprecite the value of a Travel scope on this trip.
Gave some good plugs for Iceinspace to the BAS & SAS crowd too, hope to see more of them here soon.
Thanks again to all for a great week in Brisbane
