My new astronomy Shop in FNQ

[gaa_ian]

Well, I am feeling a bit pleased with myself and I just had to let all my IIS mates know, as I have now opened my own Astronomy Shop in Cairns Far North Qld to support our long running online business.
Doing all things astronomy from a Star Disc to an observatory & some nice little sidelines such as Astro themed handmade Chocolates & Jewellery by my artistically talented Fiancé Rosanne who is managing the store. I am hoping we will have something for everyone :party2:
If your in Cairns, drop on by, we love getting visits from our fellow astronomers.

12 hrs darkness a night all year round - how good is that?
Well done buddy. Hope you get lots of eager customers.

[xelasnave]

That is wonderful.
I wish you all the best Ian.

[gaa_ian]

Thanks everyone for your well wishes !

Yeah, but there's 100% cloud cover for 4 months of the year (The Wet) based on my experiences! (On the other hand, zero cloud for the rest of the year)

Good luck with the shop - I'll definitely visit next time I'm up there!

Congrat's on the grand opening Ian.

I hope it all goes well for you.

I'll be sure to drop in and say hi next time I'm up that way.

Cheers

Yeah, but 4 months covered in cloud. :lol:

[gaa_ian]

You would be surprized just how good wet season nights can be. When it does clear, the seeing and transparancy can be superb :thumbsup:
Otherwise many FNQ astronomers are also weather watchers :lol:

We get up to Cairns now and then so we will sure to come and say "hi".

Best Regards
