Good to see you posting images from your newly completed observatory.  |
Cheers Michael, I've enjoyed the visual observations too, an 18" under a good dark sky provides great views, love it

We've had nothing but clouds in Melbourne
and only clouds predicted for at least one more week.

Yeah, shame about all the high cloud, with no Moon, I really wanted to hit my favourite, galaxies

Thanks Mate, yes, well up at Eagleview, we find ourselves "inside" any low cloud reasonably regularly. it's like I imagined the top of The Magic Far Away Tree, when I was a kid...Hmmm?..I think The Lands of Topsy Turvy and Take-What-You-Want created the most vivid visuals in my mind
