Thanks Paul and others. Yes, we probably should tie up an obs night on a sat night. As for location, there is Bundoora park just north of La Trobe uni which I think gets pretty dark, other than that, we have to get pretty far north as you suggested. I only have a small battery that powers my scope, but have a dew zapper if any of you have a spare 12v car battery.
Time wise, probably in late oct to nov?
Lets keep talking!
Cheers, Bo
