Enjoy the dark sky.

Thanks Steward,
And you are absolutely right! Winter can be a bit challenging here. But wait for spring to arrive! Beautiful days with 23 °C, crisp air and beautiful colors – just priceless! Not to mention the nights ...
Never heard about Harrogate though, needed to look it up in Google Maps. Looks like a really dark place, unlike Crafers which is a bit on the edge. I am sure your SCT will have heaps of fun during the next couple of months – and yourself as well!
Cheers,
