Star Gazing - Camp Duckadang
http://www.campduckadang.com.au/star-gazing
One of the things that often holds people back from exploring the wonders of the night sky is knowing where to start. How do I use the telescope? What do I look at? Or, what am I looking at? Astronomy is a great activity for both school children and social groups to engage in while on a visit to Camp Duckadang. The Queensland Astrofest is held annually at Lions Camp Duckadang, Linville, Queensland and registrations can be made directly at www.qldastrofest.org.au. Queenslands first camera keeping an eye o...

Troy Piggins' Photoblog: July 2011
http://troypiggo.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Troy Piggins' Photoblog: My life, my passions, my experiences. Saturday, 30 July 2011. Just got back from the 2011 Queensland Astrofest. Was there for 2 nights. Good to get out under dark skies, it's just so peaceful. Sunday, 10 July 2011. Dropped in to see Mum and Dad's new place. They seem very happy with it, the neighbours/community, and the facilities. Went for a walk around with them to the lake area. I get the impression they always love catching up with Hayden more than me these days ;).

Troy Piggins' Photoblog: My life, my passions, my experiences. Wednesday, 22 August 2012. Went to my third Queensland Astrofest. Last week for 3 nights. You might recall last year's posts of the star trails. And M20 Trifid Nebula. Unlike last year, I didn't have equipment issues per se. I was, however, sick as a dog trying to shake a bit of a cold/flu. Just wouldn't go away, and sitting out in a field in winter is not really the cure that I'd hoped for. In the edges of my shots. Couldn't figure out w...
