No that hill is not part of the property but it is quite a few acres...when we inspected it I looked very carefully all around for all other houses, lights floodlights etc and couldn't spot much at all within koowee

610m ASL - they've been predicting snow down to 400m in some places this weekend...

I've been using CCD Commander lately - fabulous to let the imaging rig run overnight while I sleep! Can't wait until my life progresses to the point that I can move to a permanent setup!

Just an outside partial set-up for now = mount remains aligned and under a bag, scope comes in and out each session but noooo travelling anymore, twill be right outside my door

Attached is the view from the front gate looking away from the house toward the southern Brindabellas ...I think I have died and gone to heaven
