Hi all, glad to hear that some of you got to observe on the weekend of the 16th.

Sally1Jack and I had a wonderful week of observing in the period 10-17 March at Pilliga Pottery near Coonabarabran. We were lucky to have clear nights throughout the entire period, with some periods of exceptional seeing. We were joined by our families and by John (Xstream) and Anna, who made the special trip down from Emerald, Qld.

We also had a visit during the week from the Deep South Texas Star Party crew, including Ausastronomer, Lachlan McDonald, Tony Buckley and co.

You will not believe Phil's new scope! I won't beat him to the punch, but you will be VERY impressed. The Mary Rose looks like a very poor cousin by comparison (even though the views through are still pretty competitive).
