SE-QLD viewing night

The school holidays are starting soon and I'm sure that for many of you, you are already looking forward to the end of it. What better way than to relax in the countryside with some fellow telescopees.


There are moves afoot to have a night (or maybe two) at Astrorons fabulously dark site near Kenilworth on the balmy sunshine coast hinterland. The tentative date ATM is the weekend of the 2nd of July. This is the last weekend before school goes back and three days before the new moon. Its a big weekend with all the planets visible at some point during the night, and an extremely close conjunction between Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Its a shame though the Americans won't come to the party and crash their probe a couple of days early

PM me or post here so we know who's coming.

ps Its about 1 1/4 -1 1/2 hours north of Bris Vegas.
