In Feb 2017 I was in Whakatane observatory. They have a 35cm scope on a hilltop.

These questions turn up once in a while. I wonder whether astronomy club members down under and in GB/Europe could begin multilateral negotiations.
.. a trusted UK club member could then just email in advance to an Oz/NZ club and either get volunteers for a viewing night with their gear at their location, or rent a travel setup for the duration of the holiday, insurance and bond like with a rental car.
Same vice versa.
No membership since x months/1 year? no rental gear. |
