What a great night, it really was amazing considering how the weather was in Sydney when I decided to go. Thanks again Adrian for lending me those two ES eyepieces. Nice meeting you Duncan, was special to see someone from the northern hemisphere experience our southern skies for the first time at such a dark location! Had a good time light painting and experimenting with exposure settings with Ed as well.
Like Duncan said, I too spent a lot of time just looking at the Milky Way itself. But the views through the scopes there were just "out of this world". Pun intended! You could just move the scope around anywhere and literally see countless galaxies popping into the field of view it was that dark.
Like Adrian said, I too enjoyed the views of some northern hemisphere objects that I would not normally have tried if not for Duncan. The Ring Nebula and Dumbbell are imprinted in my mind.
