I'm just wrapping up the installation of my TEC180/MEII at Martin's new observatory! Wow, what a great observatory this is! The roof is quite spectacular as is the sophisticated automation which commands the roof to close in short order regardless of the position of all the imaging OTAs. The setups are very cleanly installed and the NBN internet has made connecting quite easy and fast. I was in Yass last night and it sure is dark....really dark. I was set up at Martin's property prior to the new observatory and experienced some very excellent seeing...often below 2 FWHM.

Martin has been a great host. It's hard to imagine anyone with more experience or willingness to solve just about any problem! (Take it from me, I've tested his patience.) I think there are a couple of spots still open....It's worth a drive to Yass to check this out if only to see all this gear in action.
