Hello fellow big guy

Yes I guess if I can have the filters may as well get'em..? Dark sky site would be good again though .

Looked at a couple of places since talking with you, currently serious about a house in Valentine up on the hill in Andrew Rd, open back yard with a 10m inground pool. One street light with cover missing visible from backyard over the back fence and neighbour, also with a pool, has a flood light directed over his entertaining area aaaaand toward our potential backyard DOH! About 80% of the sky is visible though and it's a nice affordable place. I'm working on Ang to authorise a Sirius observatory now to protect me from any direct lighting problems. Valentine should be darkish I guess particularly to the south and southwest..?

Any whooo could be a completely different place next time we speak

Mike
