My observing accuety has not changed,
When people come out to Cambroon and I show them certain very faint objects , they say how the Heck can you see that
The day that I find I cannot do Deep Sky Observing, I will give it all away and go and put my Rocking Chair on the veranda and think of all the good night's observing I have done in the past and fade off into the night, never to be heard of in astronomy circles again
