Oh well, this wonderful clear spell at new moon time, of what must be at least 10 days in a row had to end sometime I guess; so I'll be out there observing too, but be prepared as my app. also tells me it's going to be an extremely dewy night.
Gee, you're practically walking distance from my house. 
I'll get back to you a bit later regarding some goodies for you to observe- Allan has give you some good ones. Being new moon period, concentrate on the faint fuzzies first over the star clusters (with the exception of globs). You want the sky as dark as possible to observe these things so it'd be a shame to miss this opportunity.
What telescope & eyepieces do you have so we can cater for your request a bit better? |
Live around the Northern area of Brisbane hey?
Umm, I have a couple of scopes one decent one but it's so out of focus it's useless at the moment (If you know someone that can collimate it for me do you mind shooting me a message?
) and I have another start heap of crap scope but I can see like M42 and stuff like that quite clearly with the beginner one, Jupiter etc.
I have a 20mm, 25mm, 16.5mm??, and a 6mm. Plus a 3x Barlow. Oh a moon filter I found on the bottom of one of the second hand lens I got!
