Numbers were definitely down on last year. However, last year was the biggest attendance I can remember and given how hot yesterday was many people probably didn't want to head out during the day. Also, some people may have mistakenly thought that a Total Fire Ban would be in effect around Heathcote cancelling the event because one was declared in the Central zone around Melbourne and out west. There were still plenty of people and scopes out on the observing fields.

I had a very pleasant evening. I caught up with a few people I've met before and looked at and through several different scopes (including those belonging to James and Alex). My thanks to those who do the work that makes these events possible and to those who are happy to share their scopes.
