But seriously, great outcome Mike.

...Aaaah yes Steve, that would be a little harder to get cooperation on circumventing I guess

While on the face of it, the lights were not a game changer, my guests I had for observing (newbies) last night arrived while the quarry lights were still on and all commented on how bright they were and how they felt they had to shield their eyes from it while looking in the eyepiece at times. Then when they went off at 9pm they all exclaimed "wow what a difference!" so I am glad I sent that email

All's well that ends well and when the new timers are fitted, the lights being on to 9pm will only occur on three nights a week
