The
thing
about
looking
through
a
telescope
is
it's
fairly
underwhelming
for
mister
Joe
Blow
compared
to
the
fantastic
detailed
sky
photography
that
is
presented
as
reality
based
on
hundreds
of
exposures,
each
lasting
many
minutes,
computer
combined
to
a
single
image
then
artificial
colour
added
derived
from
radiation
sources
we
cannot
see,
what
you'll
see
on
the
night
through
the
telescopes
is
generally
bright
smudges.
The
night
tour
started
at
19:30,
the
sky
is
impressively
dark
looking
away
from
Perth's
glow,
the
Milky
Way,
our
galaxy,
is
truly
amazing,
Having
never
seen
it
before,
too
much
city
light
pollution,
it's
an
emotional
experience.
Groups
are
formed
from
attendees,
named
alpha,
beta,
delta,
gamma
etc
-
you
get
the
drill,
then
admitted
to
each
telescope
in
turn
twice
to
view
selected
objects,
nebulae,
cluster
galaxies
-
the
most
impressive
through
the
30"
Obsession
telescope.
I
would
have
preferred
to
have
been
given
a
list
of
the
objects
viewed,
the
volunteer
staff
vary
in
knowledge,
some
brilliant
others
just
learning
-
the
information
provided
is
generally
more
interesting
than
the
viewed
objects.
Go
and
look
at
the
amazing
Milky
Way
-
and
be
stunned.
