Another spectacular night up here After 3 days of cloud and rain and after watching Penrith win the NRL Grand Final, well done Panthers! ...I decided to stick my head outside and see if the clouds had parted...well...Mamma Mia!! a beautiful crystal clear sky I thought hmmm?...I should set up the dob...I should have a squizz, I mean look at THAT!! ...meah too tired ...but I'll just check the SQM .......as suspected, all Zenith readings over 22 ..again

Cant wait for the observatory Dome delivery is delayed, expected late Dec now not Sidereal Tradings fault, Covid is affecting all international shipping .Oh well the rest of the observatory hasn't started yet so its probably a good thing, gives me time to build all the rest...and do more SQM readings

Decided to sleep in the lounge tonight, fire trickling along, blinds open, revealing that crystal clear southern sky, full of stars, out the huge window, to drift of to thoughts of the new observatory and what other adventures are still to come up here...
