Yes, interesting indeed. Dr Bhathal ("Rugby" to us) is co-patron of our society, the Macarthur Astronomical Society (MAS) down south-west of Sydney. He's a meticulous sort of bloke, so I really hope that something positive comes of this. I'm sure it'll be mention during tonights' general meeting.
Here are the domes that he bases his observations from - the left dome houses his main apparatus - a 16" SCT plus SETI goodies, and on the right a 10" with an ST-series SBIG attached. A few of us in the society have had official training on these two - so that we can run them without Dr Bhathal being physically present.
This photo was from one of our public nights we put on during IYA '09 last year. The domes have been...uhmm... washed since then.
