Ha ha on ya guys, it really is a good news story huh?
I just received another phone call from the Quarry supervisor to say the light bank timers have been fixed and set to turn the lights of at 9pm every night and he is still working on getting them to not turn on at all the nights they don't need them too. He was very friendly and enthusiastic again, instructing me to report back on how this works for me.
I mentioned to him how much positive support he and Boral have received from the Aussie astronomical community and how some of you even want to send thankyou emails etc. but he said no need but was quite chuffed to hear this non the less
We have agreed to try and tee up a night for him and some of his workmates to visit Terroux Observatory.
