You may remember Paul that last October some local lunatic (assisted by a second lunatic who volunteered to "go for the drive") went and drove 2000 km's in a single weekend to pick up a bargain 12" dob that had a pyrex mirror and an Argo Navis already fitted...
Same local lunatic suffered that horrendous cloud streak, the only 3 reasonably clear nights in the first 10 weeks I think were - yes you guessed it - 2 full moons, plus a 3rd night that was just one day off the full moon.
