FIRST IMPRESSIONS
After days of almost constant traveling I arrived in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, on Sunday. Coonabarabran, the „Astronomy Capital of Australia“, is the gateway to Siding Spring Observatory, the reason for my visit here. While I am still trying to master the time-difference, I met up with Mark Willis, LCOGT’s Site Manager here at Siding Spring, yesterday morning. Mark took me up to the observatory (about a 20-minute drive from town), which is set beautifully in the hills of ‘Warrumbungle National Park‘.
