Hello,
Yes, I do remember you. I'm so busy at work now I don't get time to get to many MPAS meetings, although I still get along to MPAS BBQs and viewing nights (when the weather is clear ). The MPAS site at the Briars is pretty good now, and it makes a great spot for a BBQ and social evening.

I also joined a 4WD group 3 years back, so that's something else to take up my time.

Last weekend, this 4WD group had a weekend camped at Moliagul (in the Goldfields), so I took advantage of the clear dark skies to give those attending a tour of the night sky through a small refractor that one of the other 4WD'ers had.

To keep on topic, we saw a couple of meteors as well, though only average brightness.

Not enough space to pack my trusty 6-inch Dob this time, but the feedback afterwards was good enough such that it may make a future trip to this site.

Regards,
John
