It looks like it will be clear on Saturday night 4 May.
You are all welcome to observe here, with my 16" scope or yours.
Darkness is from 6:30 pm to 1:30 am.
The skies are clear at last!
If you need my address please send a private message.
It was a great evening and thanks to Glen, even though both of us were a bit rusty! Yes, we both miss you too Judith. I hope you can get in some observing sessions at your new location.
Just back from a week camping in a swag west of Alice Springs. Incomparable night skies. Could we have seen a meteor shower on 10th and 11th? So many long streaking lights across the sky. Paul the birds didn't sit still long enough to get a good look!

Beautiful part of the country

A dozens school students observed here last night with two adults.
