I'm traveling to Mt. John in about a week to continue debugging the 24-inch telescope. If anyone has specific targets in the southern hemisphere for which they want images, let me know. I'll be happy to do single-night snapshots or perhaps a time series, depending on how the telescope performs. BVgri available; 13x13arcmin FOV; 6<V<20mag.
