COSMOS should be in full swing right now. Hope it is going well and the weather gods have been favourable :-)
Just got back from the IISAC astrocamp at Lostock. There were about 120 people attending from NSW and interstate. He are a few quick shots

great sky there John, looks like a great site to do some serious observing. You must have spent hours scanning the milky way there.

Aurora in the galactic core, there's something you dont see everyday

It turns out the green glow was due to an unusually strong airglow that was visible that night that was reported by a number of imagers around the state. No auroral activity that night :(
