22.01.2022 Join us in celebrating a very significant milestone in amateur astronomy. On this day, Wednesday October 18, 2017 at approximately 2:30am at the OzSky Star Safari, Steve Gottlieb achieved the pinnacle of a 39-year-long project to visually observe and record all 7,840 objects in the NGC (New General Catalog of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars) after 10 trips to the Southern Skies and countless observing sessions in the northern hemisphere. Congratulations, Steve!

16.01.2022 Imagine yourself sitting in a comfy, remote-controlled rotating recliner chair with giant 25x150 Fujinon binoculars mounted right in front of you, and the Southern Milky Way overhead begging you to explore... That imagination is a reality which awaits YOU.
