Southern Hemisphere Observing Time Wanted

Southern Hemisphere Observing Time Wanted

I wish to lease three nights mostly visual observing
time in mid-July or August, 2004 on a S. Hemisphere
telescope of 0.5 to 1.0 meter size.

I would prefer a site in Australia but will consider
other S.H. locations.

Please respond to describing the
instrument and cost. The cost must include the services
of an English speaking person familiar with the operation
of the telescope. If not otherwise convenient, also mention
prices for meals and lodging for the three days for one or
two people.

While not needed immediately the contact person or telescope
operator should be prepared to enter into the preparation of
an object list. This list should include, planets, asteroids,
galaxies, planetary nebula, double stars, globular & open
clusters and the Magellenic Clouds.

This is a dream vacation project, probably my only chance to
see the southern sky under dark skies and a large telescope.
I suspect that this will be at a university observatory but
that is not required.

Thank you,

tom
