Mai and I would like to thank everyone for the well wishes.
We are fine and already looking forward to the next AstroCamp, which
we are glad to hear will now be held in, hopefully, cooler October.
Neighbouring suburb to Mt. Kuring-Gai is Berowra, home to
optician Mark Suching, Austrlian Sky & telescope Editor, Greg Bryant
and 25" Obsession/Argo Navis owner, Steve Amerongen. Thankfully the fire
is being controlled and Mark, Greg, Steve and their families should be fine.
The NSW Fire Brigade, RFS, SES, NSW NPWS have all done a fabulous job
in difficult circumstances and their response times were very fast.
We hope that not too many of you were affected by yesterday's road
and rail closures.
We appreciate the sense of extended community that the IceInSpace forum
provides.
Best Regards
Gary Kopff
