After departing the Gravity Discovery Centre, we went back the Gingin Roadhouse, where we had a motel room booked. Just across the road is a small layover area, so we took the car across with our DwarfII telescopes, and played the "how long can we shoot before the clouds roll in" game.

Why did we take the car all over 50 metres down the road? So that we'd have somewhere warm to sit while the telescopes did their thing.

I shot two targets - NGC300 aka Caldwell 70 or the Sculptor Pinwheel Galaxy and NGC55 (Caldwell 72) or the String of Pearls Galaxy.

I only managed 180ish frames before the clouds rolled over us, but I am very happy with both results.

I also put the Theta on the roof of the car...
