Hi All
My Wife and I on our driving honeymoon went to Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands. When we packed to go, Miriam asked where the Telescope was. I said no i wasnt going to take it but she said yes I could and so I did. (I may say no once but not twice).
I had Hector set up in the camp ground at the Millander falls caravan park and the sky was FANTASTIC. Seeing Cygnus so high from Australia was unreal. M51 looks great and you could easily see the spiral structure.
If you can get access to a scope or take one yourself it is definatly worth the effort. Be aware of the humidity though as one night the 20" fogged over in about 3 hours.
And for those people who wondered, I used the scope 3 times during a 3 week driving holiday.
