Hi Eric,

Thanks for the report.

Though observing from inside the garage door may have denied you views
of the southern half of the sky, there is plenty on offer in the north and the
appeal to some may be that they are just that little bit closer to their beer fridge.

Great to hear the Argo Navis did its magic.

Best Regards
