Plus the Mapleton observatory is trying to put together its own astrofest on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2005.
Quote from letter to various Astro societies in Aust.
"All major solar system planets will be in the sky during this period, the moon will be approx 15% illuminated and rising between 2am and 3am, deep sky objects should be at their best."
If anyone is interested I can foward the letter onto you.
