I'm back - a week early. Couldn't hack the heat!!
Only managed to get the scope/camera etc out once - in Longreach and then only for an effective hour after drift aligning etc. The battery in my whacking great jump-starter (38 AH) died after 3 hours all up - I'd forgotten the QHY8 draws 4 amps alone.
So all I have to show for 3000km and goodness knows how many dollars, is one hour of M31 taken from a caravan park opppsite Longreach's airport.
I was hoping to escape the heat as I headed for home but it seems to have remained much the bleedin' same with smoke haze to boot.
Lets hope November is kinder.
