Someone to host my observation in the southern hemisphere?
Hi,
I am a hobby observational astronomer from Europe and I would like to go to the southern hemisphere with my telescope (8'' Photo Newton) for an observation, maybe for 6-8 weeks in 2012.
Is there anyone here who could host me during that time? I know nobody in the southern hemisphere, so I am exploring possibilties right now. Chile (Atacama), Namibia or Australian Outback would be perfect.
Of course I will pay for accomodation and other expenses. I just can't/don't want to afford a hotel for that time. And hotels are in light-polluted areas mostly anyway. So I'd rather stay with some local people where conditions are good and I can observe at my choice of time, and also socialise.
Thanks for getting in touch with me. email: andrehartmann (at) hotmail.com.

Check this website: Astronomy Clubs in Chile http://www.astronomyclubs.com/1/37/0/0/club.aspx
Or any other country you like: http://www.astronomyclubs.com/1/astronomy_clubs.as...
If you get in touch with those clubs, one of their members probably could offer you accommodation, or maybe point to a very cheap hotel.
In case you can't find any solution, you might try asking some astronomers in the southern hemisphere to make the observations for you.
