I spent one night at Mt Surprise airstrip and 3 at Undara airstrip.
The first 2 nights were perfectly clear, we had a little bit of cloud the last two.
I managed to see most of the objects on my list of northern objects.
Ron and I plan to view northern galaxies from Mt Surprise airstrips in May 2010 with his 16".
The sky is very dark and clear right down to the horizon up there.

If I did not have such a busy month in Gove (and if I had noticed it) I would have been there for that one Glen !
I will have to work to strengthen the links between the North Australian Astro clubs, so we find out about these things.
