T-3 days: Ellinbank and Hazelwood Observatories, near Melbourne

[posted for Chris Stockdale]

We had a meeting at Peter’s place tonight and had a quick rundown of the Meade scope from Hil (Hilmar Batza).  We’re going to meet again tomorrow.  The weather is looking about as promising as we could have wished for this time of year. Mind you the forecast was for it to be clear tonight. Peter was clouded out and my place was clear when I arrived home.

Luke Weisenbach checks out Hilmar Batza’s Meade 10-inch LX200 telescope, while Hil glances over the top.

Steph Sallum adjusts the occultation camera on the telescope.  Peter Nelson is just to the left of the telescope, and Hil is to the left of Peter.
