Hi Andrew, sorry I didn't see your entry sooner. This is the first time I'm on since my last posting yesterday.

Funny enough, my 3G reception there last night was just fine.

I'm now looking at staying overnight there as the dark of the night from 10pm to 2am is as dark as the inside of a cat. Last night I did a galaxy hunt. Lost count after 30.

Used a different location on the airfield last night. Set up on one of the concrete slabs along the east-west strip giving uninterupted view of the whole sky. Used the car as a wind break to stiffle the occassional gust of wind. Not cold at all though. No roos, no rabbits, no mozzies. Only one very distant barking dog.
