I was camping over at Newnes this Anzac weekend just gone. The sky was just beautiful - could stare at the stars out there for hours. The clear night on Friday was superb - Milky Way was just stunning and I've now got tentative plans to put together a travelling outfit for capitalising on those trips out to darker skies. The Dob's a bit too big to take on a camping trip - especially once I've packed for the kids !  Any ideas ? - small refractor - maybe one with goto ?
Enjoy, and think of us stuck here in the smoke...

Ah, yes, Ali's kebabs no doubt?
Whereabouts in the Abercrombie were you camped... The Beach? Silent Creek? The Licking Hole? Governor's Bend?
Don't forget binoculars! I take my 20x80s (and tripod) if I can't fit the scope in. But an ED80 would be an excellent choice as well, or a small maksutov
. ...but it is hard to go down in aperture is may experience!
