Hi Ron thanks mate and yes it is a great place to do visual astronomy too, so much so that I am eager to get the housing for the 18" Dob done ASAP, it will be a 3m X 2m X 2.1m shed with double doors, to sit on that T-shaped concrete slab, the scope will roll out along the path to the isolated observing pad at the end and then roll away again at the end of the evening. I enjoy nothing more than having the imaging rig purring away, while observing faint fuzzies, preferably with company, under a truly dark sky, Nirvana!

The dome looks fantastic, and I hope you get the best out of it for many years to come.
Thanks for coming along for the ride Adam, glad you are having fun watching
