Hey Mike, yes and what a treat of a spot Arthurs Pass is. No Kea sightings, no bitten-off tyre-valves and no windscreen wiper rubbers pulled to bits. Did hear the Keas this morning though, somewhere up in the beech.
Now I'll have to figure out whether to pursue re-commissioning the 23" dob, once I've reassembled and used this 20" (damn, wish it was back together now, - the skies look good over Blenheim tonight). The 23" is F5.25 yet is still a sizeable ladder job to get to the eyepiece.
