“Simply put, every serious astronomer MUST spend at least several weeks
observing from the Southern Hemisphere. Although only a small fraction
of the sky is not visible from mid-northern latitudes, most of the sky
we can't see contains the "best in class" of almost every object type.”
- Albert Highe, well known Californian amateur astronomer during a visit
to Arkaroola in April 2005
