I've landed an hour or so of one-on-one time with the 8.1m Gemini North telescope for my Birthday
Ok, that's not entirely true, I was offered some time for the NACAA programme, but the guys in Hawaii couldn't do the Saturday during the event so I decided to keep it as a present to myself! Am I terribly selfish???
Just to try and keep some good karma, I thought I'd invite my IIS buddies to the show (no further presents necessary
). It's on from 3:30 at UQ in St Lucia, the AAQ's usual meeting place and is free and open to anybody. If you don't know where that is, here are the instructions!
