Hopefully I will keep on keeping on if I ever get a clear sky again. It has been crook here for months and I am looking to winter for a chance of some clear sky.

I did have a bed set up in my big observatory with the plastic cover still in place so keep it dry so I could cover up and nap during exposures and not go back to the van for a nap... but the girls brought the bed up to the main house to enable me to stay with them after I came out of hospital... unfortunately I still seem to need looking after but soon I should be right...I hope..the legs are just not coming good....but I have found these heat patches that I can put under my clothes to keep me warm...the RASA wont arrive until mid or late July but because it is fast I hope to get the job done in much less time...but one thing for sure I wont be involved unless the seeing is perfect...no more hanging about all night shooting between cloud gaps.

My condition has me thinking not to waste a moment but maybe all night sessions wont happen.

Funny thing...I liked to walk bare foot on the frosty grass because my feet always on fire felt better on the cold lawn, but after a while it chills the rest of my body so there is a limit.

The one, as yet, unknown... one side effect of my medication is less tolerance of cold...lets hope I dont have that problem... fortunately I have not experienced any side effects so far..

Anyways Glen your approach is sensible ...no doubt after you pack everything away you will get perfect seeing night after night.
