19 bodies all up. And by far the most popular place was in front of the combustion heater!!!

The cool of the night would have been more tolerable if it were not for the wind. Just our luck that it should be blowing a blizzard in the Snowies. Made using any scope tricky. Thankfully my 11X70 binos were packed, and I had a good time chasing dark nebulae. Steffen and I also managed to pin the "Doodad" he noted in the Challenge.

Thanks to everyone who turned up. It was a very pleasant occasion for me, and I hope everyone else too.

Oh, and the unsealed road was not a problem either, .

Rob, great time lapse clip, mate! I showed it to the missus, who was suitably impressed too, much to my surprise. I too had noticed that little dim red light out on the run way. I thought it was you, Adam, stuffing around and getting all arty-farty with your stuff, . Glad I was proved wrong!

Mental.
