I'll be down in the Snowys over the next couple of days and was wondering if there are any astronomy groups that will be meeting on Tuesday or Wednesday night (16th and 17th).
I'll be in Tumut but willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet up with others.

Hey Geoff,

I will be working both nights but you can always try calling the Wagga Observatory to see if they are doing anything. It would only take you around 45mins-1hr to drive here.

Mike.

Thanks Mike.
Didn't know Wagga had an observatory, I'll check it out.

Its not an "Observatory" as such but a group of guys with some large dobs & so on but they are an ok bunch.
