I have fond memories of Stockport
Joe G was the pres then back 20 odd years now
the 20'' on a massive fork mount was in the tower on a masive pier that went down through the floor, climbing up the stairs,
HAND guiding, the beast with eyes glued to my own eyepieces,
(long before computer drive)
I was invited over to Ian Bedfords private obs on only a few times
watching many sunrises on Sunday mornings
Sky glow from Adelaide was creeping up from the south even then
must be pretty bad now.
It definately set my mind dreaming of my own obs back then at a DARK site
will be good to catch up at Vic Desert in Nov 06'
