IYA public telescope viewing night in Mudgee 29 Aug 2009
Unfortunately the sky was cloudy, so no telescope viewing was possible but quite a few people participated in the evening anyway.
Many thanks to Donna Burton (ANU) for giving a talk on life as a female professional astronomer working at Siding Spring Mountain near Coonabarabran NSW. Thanks
also to Darrin Nitschke from Sydney for bringing along and setting up his 'goto'
telescope system.
