my kick start to the international year of astronomy 2009

Over Christmas i bought a small but very important piece of equipment -a huge Christmas gift, which my lovely wife allowed me to get.

I bought Phil's dome!!!

the trip to go and get it was a interesting journey, with Alan Meehan along for the ride. Al's help and support was brilliant and i cannot thank him enough for his friendship and company. thanks Al.

here are some happy snaps. I covered just over 3000km from wallsend to rockhampton and back with a stopover in kallangur, in 3 days from NYeve through to 8pm Friday night. it is now safe in the garage until i can clean up and buff up the panels and get the garden organised before construction of the pier base and platform for the dome.
