I am going to the South Pacific Star Party ten days from now with an 18 inch Obsession classic and a 30 inch f 4.5 Obsession clone. The event is run by the Astronomical Society of New South Wales on it's 100 acre site at an altitude of 3,300 feet and 130 miles west of Sydney Australia. SQM readings match those of the Texas Star Party when I went there in 2002. This time of year the LMC is still high enough to observe well for several hours, which is handy as there are over 300 deep sky objects in it - globulars, emission nebula etc. Other prime targets include the Vela supernova remnant, Carina, with Eta as a prime target, Centaurus galaxy sluster, NGC 5128 and 4945, of course omega, and globulars in Opiuchus and Saggitarius which get to the meridian by dawn. We can take up where we left off at Ozsky, Coonabarabran over march new moon.
