Dave, I've sent him a private email. I'm the vp of the Macarthur Astronomical Society, south west of Sydney. I've invited him out to our club nights in March and resent Magellan Observatory's email address. Cheers, John
Zane Hammond who owns and runs Magellan Observatory is a forum member. I am not sure what his handle is but Louie (Atalas) will know it. Send Louie a PM and ask him.
It's almost one year since I have started this thread. There was very nice in Australia, I'd stay there for ever.
I would like to apologize to Grove Creek Observatory that I say that they rejected me unkindly. In fact they offered me several possible ways to stay at them but I couldn't so I way maybe too rude. Sory again!
