Hi mate, I am in Canberra and am having the same problem viewing it.

My camera is picking it up large as life with a long exposure, but I still cant see it through the eyepiece myself, even though I am pointing right at it!

Login to heavens above dot com mate. At least you will have current info updated.

The thoughtfulness, care and dedication of some is truly inspirational.


Thats simply the best layman's depiction of how to find something that I've ever seen.

Well done Baz

Hold your thumb up sideways at arms length, Lulin is that distance above Saturn.
