Thank you Ron - very kind words and encouragement.
I've just looked up how many light years away the Fornax cluster of galaxies are, and its
50,000 L/Y. So if one light year equals 6 trillion miles, that's ... forget it, my calculator makes no sense.
Not sure if my skills are up to these yet, but I'll give them a go

I'm ready for my next observing report when the weather plays good as I have just bought a professional looking voice recorder from Jaycar.

I'm armed and ready
