> What's up Tonight

Cloud and rain. There was an "open day" over four nights at an observatory near Melbourne this week. It rained every night.

The Ballarat observatory is open every Friday night. Its just down the road from Sovereign Hill tourist trap. Easy to find, just go to the top of Sovereign Hill at the tourist trap, turn right into Magpie St and head back towards the city about a Km. (long way but easiest directions)
Well worth a look, even if the weather is bad. Some very nice historical telescopes and lovely buildings. If it clears up they let you look through some of their telescopes, both old and modern.
