Anyone planning on attending this unique Star Party to see in the International Year of Astronomy on 31 Dec/ 1 Jan?

I would love to go, but too many other things happening around that time… 
Too far, but if you could beam me up Scottie…
Far indeed! Seems to be a prerequisite for a proper dark site, unfortunately. I’ve never been to Sutherland before, so I reckon this event is as good an excuse as any to make the pilgrimage (at least this once…)
Cheers,
Mintaka
