Ditto, a bit jaded, it's been a damn cold, smokey, cloudy winter and spring here in Tassie, I was looking forward to Astrofest this year but HRH's employers inflexibility put an end to that.
There's nothing like a few days with your (astro) gear hanging out waiting and nothing to do but stroll up and start observing once it's dark. The like minded company and pleasant surroundings is an added bonus and putting names to faces makes the IIS experience that much more personal.
