Hi Alexander,

I am a bit of a newbie but would like to come on the weekend. I am bringing my 6" F8 refractor on a CGEM GOTO mount for some observing.

Do you have any suggestions for what we should try and observe from Katoomba at this time of year? From our backyard at the moment we can see:

* Moon
* Mars
* Saturn
* Venus
* The Jewel Box
* 47 Tuc

What else do you suggest for a beginner?

Also, are there any specific instructions for getting onto the airfield? Is the gate locked or anything? I plan to get there before 5pm.

Cheers

James
