Aloha Lance,
Sounds magnificient! That's what I want to hear.
I've heard enough stories now about the skies in that part of the world
to know it can't be attributed to people just chewing on the local
cocoa leaves.
Though we do get to see the Milky Way at the zenith here at -33S,
there is no way we can compete with the 12,500' altitude and for
this reason they don't build any large professional optical telescopes
here in Australia anymore.
Speaking of world's great observing locations, I can't imagine it is
any coincidence that you are on the Big Island at the moment?
Do you ever run into an observer by the name of Doug Summers who
works at the Keck?
I understand you have been in communication with John Bambury so looking
foward to meeting you down here.
Best Regards
Gary
