Off to Australia!!

Sounds funny posting from an Australian website.

10 days on the Gold Coast. Hope it's fine over there!! Escaping the cold, the cloud, the rain.

The only bummer is that I miss the Auckland Astronomical Dark Sky Weekend and the best of the evening observing window. Not very well planned, family comes first.

Pity it wasn't last month, could have had a stop into the Astrofest.

All the best.

You'd have a hard time convincing us that we are part of Australia!!

I am enjoying the warm and the sun, especially when you get both 4 days in a row.

I was amazed to stumble upon a shop about 400 metres up the road packed with telescopes. Try doing that in New Zealand. A nice big 16 inch Meade Truss. Made me think of home.
