Alex, I remember when you Jeanette and others used to come
up to Cambroon for your dark sky fix.
All that is gone now, due mainly to Covid and the ease of
using scopes in less than ideal conditions.
Cambroon is no more, I sold the place earlier this year and
I haven't done much Astronomy since.
Age and my change of location have greatly inhibited
me doing it.
I hope you're well.
Cheers Ron:
A little bit of history of the Dome.
The Dome was built and owned by my now departed
friend Gordon Jones, at Morayfield when he moved he gave
it to SEQAS, Sunshine Coast Astronomical Society.
A failed relocation to Near Mapleton, due to a change mind of
a member of the family not wanting it on the property.
Glen Lang then President of the club bought it for song
and set it up near the Glass House Mountains.
When he relocated to Kilcoy Janette obtained it out at Mary Smokes creek
road a few kilometres from Kilcoy.
I seemed to have lost track of it after that.
