Ron, Troy, David, Marcus, Alan, Peter and Adam.
Thanks for the kind words.
They should not have bothered with putting in water tanks to break the drought - just give us all observatories.
I admit I pinched ideas from David, Marcus and JohnG as I really liked the setups they had done and so blatantly copied what I could. Thought the Croc Lock was ideal but we have 2 dogs that would raise absolute stink if anyone came round. One would lick you to death while the other would take your foot off - and I'm not about to say which is which.
The Tempest Observatory was a 10 year idea that finally crystalised when I decided I was going to retire ths year and could make good use of it after doing some preliminary shots using narrowband filters from the BrisVegas suburbs and convinced myself what could be done and I would get the images I wanted.
Now no excuses for not doing 5 hr exposures on a single object, weather permitting.
The neighbours reactions were great. One said that you realise that now most of them think Im some sort of spy while the others were creeping around for seruptitious glances at this strange thing Id erected in the backyard.
