For you guys going this week, someone needs to pack a whipper snipper as the grass is really long.
Just to let you guys know I have some people looking for land around Dunedoo where I can setup up a permanent obs. The weather out there is so much better than Bretti and you won't have to cope with other peoples noise and lights. I hope to build it up and turn it into a nice astronomy facility, and we can have somewhere better to go than Bretti.
Plus, it is going to be home next year to a nice new 32".  |
Gee Allan you certainly had an interesting weekend. Re the Obs, I have just completed mine - in my backyard, and just need to do a few internal setup things - like power, when I return from Bretti. I hope that mid-week Bretti will be more quiet. Did you happen to notice if Bretti Heights was over-grown as well? My whipper snipper is electric so that's not going to be much help.
A 32" eh? Obviously a dob. Is this an SDM build?
