Hi Andrew
Give me a tingle when you're in T'ville, I would love to meet with you and 'chew the fat'.
It may be difficult to arrange an observing session though, as I work 6 days/nights per week! Hence, I haven't been able to catch-up with any other local astronomy groups, as they tend to meet on weekends.
Just email me when you're next coming to the area.
Cheers
