Dear Matt,
We
should send you a licence fee bill for coming down to the southern hemisphere
and plundering the skies!
Seriously, I am hope your trip to Chile encourages
more US based guys to make the trip either to there or Australia. We get a lot
of Yanks visiting us at our society www.asnsw.com and they are never really
prepared for what they see here. Your photos prove it. I love them. I haven't
seen a good SMC like that one for a long time.
BTW - I know it may not be too popular to add
another globular to the better than M13 list ,
but there is a constant debate amongst many Australian amateurs as to which is
better Omega Cen or 47 Tucane. The former is broader and has more
stars but the latter is brighter and fantastically concentrated. Looking at Tuc
47 with a 20" and a 31 Nagler is one of life's special moments. What did you
think when you were down there? I hope you did some visual too.
Regards
Monte
