Hi Luise,

I'm not in Perth, though I'd like to have a squiz meself.

Would you be able to squeeze in a pair of binoculars in your kit? Lest that noone can come to the resque of a fellow IISer, binos, say the classic 7X50, won't go astray. And they will be useful back home too for both day and evening viewing.

I've got an inexpensive pair of 10X50's and I've been able to spot galaxies like the Sombrero and M83 from my home in central Sydney. In a dark site they are awesome rich field scopes. I also need them to find anything from home such is the light pollution here.

Just a thought.
