First Mallanganee Lookout session

Well we got a first look from the Lookout, many thanks to Judith in
helping get the 16" into the back of her car and up to the lookout.
Judith also supplied snacks and hot drinks . Unfortunately
there were quite a few big burn offs to the west, south west plus
a couple to the north which made the whole area quite hazy. But
we both agreed this was an awesome spot. Looking forward to
a clear night up there.

Judith was amused by some of the nicknames given to some objects
that we observed including, the Ring neb, Spare tyre, Helix, Dark
Doodad, The Dumbell neb, Antenna Galaxy to name a few. Dispite
the haze which limited what we could see, it was a very enjoyable
session with pleasent company.

Look forward to the next session.

Cheers,CS
