Hi pupkin, it certainly is a great experience observing the southern skies. even though i'm an aussie i've been in the uk for the last 10 yrs and only got into astronomy in the last 12 months so i missed the opportunity until now. i've been spending a lot of time around scorpius/sagitarius/scutumand also around carina/crux/centaurus. i absolutly love it around this last group,sooo many clusters it almost seems hard to point the scope without spotting one. i'm using a 130mm newtonian while i'm hear and have seen so much more than i have with my 200mm in the uk (light pollution). i'm yet to see the large and small clouds (sorry the names escape me at the moment) but am looking forward to doing so as i'm told they're magnificent.i hope you find this interesting because its certainly been interesting for me
