Very nice Erick. Have fun. I think this makes three IIS members on the road at the moment. The way I feel about this place today there could be four.

He's back


After getting used to Darwin, stepping out of Melb airport to 10 deg C was a bit tough!

By eye only. Tough place to observe from, I think. Lots of cloud haze and some smoke at the moment. Night sky also dripping with moisture, the Moon had a large bright "cloud" around it when I looked.

Hi Eric,

Sounds like Taree at the moment. Between the bushfires, dust storms and general haze, I've been hoping for rain, of all things, to clear the air. That's here too now, so just have to keep polishing the telescope.

Hope you had a good trip.

Shane
