It was a nice night at Kulnura,

Even though clouds spoilt most of the viewing we did get some great views of the moon through Anthony's 12" water heater.

And Louie's setup is awesome, got some great advice on polar alignment and played around with the scope.

It was great to meet you two and look forward to catching up again.

The most amazing view though was the grass. Never seen grass like that.

Yes it was,

Louie's G11 mount is so smooth, you could just move the C11 around with no effort at all and it just picks up the tracking instantly.

I didn't take any gear up last night, xsept my red tourch.
