Well guy's I hope you had a bit of fun last night. I saw a few things I haven't
seen before, which is always refreshing.

Glen, any chance you could rattle off a list, of the nebulae we observed last night.

Actualy been thinking of maybe heading out to Alex's place tonight. Just dont
know how cold I want to get lol

what was the galaxy near omega cen .. I can't remember if we found it or not ... I went from your place on friday night rob to the centre of brisbane the next ..I guess theres some ok spots around to observe up there
but the light pollution is /was so bad .. could just see the crux and a few bright stars here and there.

CoombellKid · #**107** 19-07-2007, 01:21 AM

The galaxy was NGC 5206 @ mag 11.6 to the east-south-east of Omega Centauri.
We did nab it in Glens scope.

Ya got to feel sorry for the folks who have to contend with that. I think
I would find it rather frustrating.

How was the Saints

Just had a phone call from Steve Fletcher in Grafton. They have a group of about 20 amateurs down there and he has a 14". They recently persuaded Grafton and Lismore councils to install full-cut-off street lights. They meet the first Wednesday of each month at the Aero Club at 7pm.

I forgot about those chaps. I tried to go down to one of their meetings when
I first started getting into astronomy 4-5 years ago. I forget the name of the
chap running it then, I remember trying 2-3 times in a row and always
something came up and the meeting was canceled. I had forgotten them until
I got you message.

I'm keen for a car pool down to one of their meeting if your going.

Graham and I met two young guys from near Lismore at the Qld Astrofest. David and Darren plan to come and observe with us next new moon. Darren has an 8" on a ball mount. We will have to change the name of this thread, I suggest Richmond River viewing nights.
Bought an 8mm Hyperion at the QldAstrofest and tried it out this am with good results. It is nearly parfocal with my 13mm Hyperion.

CoombellKid · #**113** 13-08-2007, 04:38 PM

cool, a couple more to add to the group. We're up at Alex's place next
month, aren't we. Richmond River Viewing Nights sound good to me.

I've tried a 21mm Hyperion and your 13mm, very nice ep's they are close
to the XW's imo.

I will start a new thread called NSW Northern Rivers.
