Very pleased to announce our latest astro buy, hopefully we won't need another of these for quite awhile!
What is it? Well it's a lovely farm property in Tamleugh, Victoria. Extremely dark skies, no streetlights at all and nearest neighbours around a kilometre away.
We have visited there a few times and are really excited about the massive lifestyle change ahead. It's 80 acres, far from any, even slightly busy, roads, has power but no water connections, however it already has reasonable dam and water storage facilities.
Visited there one evening, the silence of the area was deafening. And the sky, well magnificent of course. Best I've ever seen I think, though I might be biased already!
Sadly we wont be going up to live at the house until early next year, due to various lead up issues. But there'll be a heap of driving on weekends once we settle late this yr and even before if we get permission- we have a heap of trees we can't wait to scatter throughout the place.
Plenty of time for planning our best use of the land and construction of a decent sized roll off roof astro shed. Hoping to have enough room for astro tourists, my main imager and another one dedicated to NEO searching. Maybe a couple of other piers for rent if interest exosts. So expect a few shed related questions along the way.
