Thats the spirit. Its charity dressed up in fun , and you get something for it. I felt annoyed the first time I heard about it , but I've mellowed somewhat. You can pay the government $1000 a year for some stupid number plate. Now, the cost of two Sydney Observatory staff to turn up to a place you nominate with a a couple of telescopes for two hours for $1000, I'm not sure . Again I guess it would have to be an organised charity event or something to make sense.
