Hi guys,
New member here.
I live in Sydney, but FYI my mum owns a ~200 acre property (Horse Stud) several minutes north of Bucketty (Koolang Observatory). Accommodation on-site is available for 14 people, usually at a cost of $40/head per night...
If however there were a group of people (say 5+) who would be interested in using the property for astronomy purposes - I could probably arrange something with my mum for you to get a cheaper rate.
EDIT: If it were to be a continuous thing, i.e. every 2-3 months I could probably work out something even better... but let's see what the interest is first.
Site has dark skies, is in a bit of a valley but there is plenty of flat paddock available to set up equipment on, site has power, running water, kitchen w/ convection microwave, 2 ensuite bathrooms, TV & DVD, fans, column heater, BBQ, etc.
I will try to keep an eye on this thread but I have exams coming up. I will likely be heading up the end of november, beginning of december to try out my first proper scope, a Celestron Astromaster 90.
