Yeah,well 2010 was pretty much a none event-astronomy wise here in S.E QLD.
The cloudy days and nights,have been more than regular.
Unfortunately.we only had two new moon nights here on the Blackbutt Range
observing grounds.Only 4 people attended-but what a great couple of nights.
I look forward to David,Mark,Mike and Geoff coming for some viewing and astro-photography next year.
The AAQ meeting and camp oven meal was cancelled due to rain,so really hope we can get one happening next year.
Astrofest,was a good catch up with people,but that's all,one night had 3 inches of rain!
The one,BIG positive for me personally was one astro-photograph I took,that went of around the world,to earn fame and fortune!-oh how I love royalties!
,Over 17'000 people viewed it on this forum alone,so I was rather amazed.
I never ever thought,a photo I took would produce such amazing results from a world wide audience,and be a commercial success earning thousands of dollars.And be the subject of much praise from many scientist around the world.(It's currently in Italian Science Magazine,along with the story.The mag has a readership of 30K plus,so my agent says)
I must say a big thank you to some of the members here,who I have learnt quite a bit off,and received very helpful advice off.
Lets hope there is a bit less cloud next year,and we can get some great observing in.
Cheers,and all the best for Xmas/new year
Chris
