Even then I won't see as much as you with my 5" but be nice see what I can get. 

You will see piles with your 5" under dark skies! Good luck for your dark sky trip, Gerry

A little late to read your excellent report Neil, but glad I did. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to take my dob for a drive tonight too.

Thank you! I always think taking your telescope to a dark site is like getting a new bigger telescope. The effect on what you can see is that significant! It’s the difference between driving your car on mud and tarmac. You need good skies to realise the potential of your scope. That’s my inspiring “take your dob to a dark site” speech for the day

Amazing. I’d love to observe from Australia and see all the southern hemisphere constellations! 

If you are ever on the West Coast of Australia let me know I would be glad to give you a guided tour of the Southern skies

Thank you. Australia is somewhere I’ve wanted to visit since I was a child. Definitely hope to go there at some point in the next few years
