Funniest thing is that we ARE in the Southern Hemisphere and see alot of stuff that you guys don't get to see until later in OUR year... ah me planetary orbits eh??
I can relate. I am dying to see the Magellanic clouds, Carina, etc. You're going to have to wait until at least July at the earliest, probably August, if Andromeda is what you want. I'll do what I can. In the mean time, I have something else you might like that you can't see in the Southern Hemisphere. Give me a few minutes and I'll post it.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology.
