We setup the Cosmic Array in quite a large space at the rear of Maker Faire Adelaide at 8am.

Left to right - The Cosmic Array, then some units opened up so people can look inside, then my early Drift Hodoscope, then my 81 Pixel Hodoscope which was connected to a computer to play music and regenerative graphic. 

Although it doesn't look it. It was quite busy as we where located right at the end of the Maker Faire. 

Above is Paul Schulz, who has developed code for the Cosmic Array and was a great help all day.  He will be doing a presentation at the next - linux.conf.au 2018.

A very busy day lots of questions and was  the Winner for best backyard science.
