From nearmap.com aerial view timeline at 17th Sept 2011, there is a cricket match going on!, but yes, winter is Soccer matches. They must turf over the all-weather cricket strip for the winter soccer.

Thanks for the report on Howson Oval and for giving it a go particulary as it was such a rough night, it sounds like a very promising observing site.

Is there and all weather cricket pitch in the middle of the oval? More stable than grass.

Hope to join you there for next month’s viewing nights.

We saw (through everyone’s telescope) the Orion Nebula. (Bit of a comparison thing we had going on)
Thanks for suffering us novices and our dodgy eyesight.

Hope to see you next month

I saw through my scope Mars and Saturn, Orion Nebula, Eta Carinae, Jewel Box, the “Jewel Box like” object, M41, and a couple of open clusters which names I ignore… And Omega Centauri. (And a plane and a couple of satellites also :P )
