Off to "the dark" this weekend
Family is off to a farm outside Parkes this weekend so my daughter can be dazzled by a full night sky (weather is looking pretty good, if extremely cold) and we can visit the Dish.
Taking our 11x70 binos on a tripod, plus the lovely little tabletop dobsonian scope we bought from Alex.
Looking forward to clearer views of Mars and Saturn, and hoping to see the Jewel Box, and some doubles in Scorpio and Crux.
We'll be armed with Suzy's Highlights of the winter sky and some sky maps on a Galaxy Tab and report back!
