Thanks Chris,
I didn't know there was a higher point at 6,025 feet.
The wind is the problem at these altitudes.
I've had only one night out of 4 without high winds
at some stage of the night on Baw Baw .
Wouldn't it be great if there was an empty observatory
on top of Baw Baw or Mt McKay where you could place your telescope?
I really think our high peaks are too under developed for astronomy.
I wonder if it's because the National Parks Govt. agencies think
that observatories look ugly in those pristine environments?
Each time I've looked at the sky from Baw Baw I was
simply overcome at how bright the Milky Way &
the rest of the sky looked.
I feel sad for city dwellers & most people I know
who've never seen the sky like that.
