I hope they spend some time on Video with the Deep Southern DSO's - the Southern Cross and Eta Carina. These were the Special Targets for me the two years that I attended...

Eta Carina climbs a few degrees above the Horizon, and while still in the "soup", it was Good Enough. And then you get Zapped as a Million Watt Shrimp Boat cruises through the bottom of your shot...
