Hi John,
Up here the transparency isn't quite as good around the equator. My watch is a 2 man watch (big new FPSO) 12noon to midnight - pretty unconventional watch but plenty of good rest periods which is good. I am going to have some astronomy nights for as many crew who wish to attend in the wee hours once we hit the indian ocean.
I agree, best skys I have ever seen are south in the southern ocean or tasman towards the bottom of the south island of nz (haven't been around the horn myself yet).
If yourself or anyone else has some ideas of what we should be looking at - some easy stuff to look through 7x50s then by all means let me know.
regards, Frank.
