It's a fair cop. We'll come quietly.

We see what you mean about the feathery ice geysers. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks, Rodney. Glad you think the OIII adds something.

Cheers, Greg. The whole area around lambda has proven quite interesting at 3.45 metres.

Thanks, Tim. Glad you like it too. It's getting a bit late in the season for all-nighters now, but next autumn we'll come back to the Lambda Centauri region for sure.

Best,
M & T
