Once again the ASV is hosting their 9th annual Messier Star Party at their dark site in Heathcote, about an hour and a half to two hours north of Melbourne. For further details, point your browser to their home page:
Hope to see some of you up there tomorrow! I am working on the gate for a couple of hours and then part of the public viewing later in the evening (CGE-C11).
We also have some interesting raffle prizes too...
A few pictures from the ASV Messier night.
Big crowd, lots of visitors, good food from the local Lions Club.
Lots of scopes, great people and a great nights viewing!
And I got a bargain on a 2" dielectric diagonal from Bintel!
Here are a couple of my shots from the event. I would also like to congratulate the girl who won my Henbury meteorite, I am sure she has already taken it to school to show everyone.
