Well, jamespierce and I are finally home! We went north to Lostock via Thredbo (Crackenback actually) where we had one really good night's viewing. IISAC was awesome, of course, although I think James is going to be get sick of my optimistic "I've seen it get good from worse!" From there we headed west, and stayed a couple of nights in the Warrumbungles, had two good nights' viewing (albeit cut short by cloud), and went to Siding Springs - the exhibition there is indeed, erm, tired. The AAT makes even Rod's 20" look small though.... And today, we've come home from Parkes, where we went to ogle The Dish - and stopped off to spend a few hours talking to Peter Read from SDM and drop off James' scope for a little 'holiday'. Truly an awesome, and very nerdy, holiday - thanks Mike for giving us the excuse to do it!
