Look forward to the build photos and of course a plethora of those unmistakable Sidonio's. No one does blue stars quite like you.

It looks like its going to be freezing in winter and very warm in summer from the photos.

And those new neighbours .. they are the BEST neighbours around.

Enjoy your new home
Ha ha Cheers Jeff

You're right it's all about compromise in the end and this is pretty well that. Currently trying to sort the best way to mitigate the winds in the exposed spot I have chosen to work from without building a full observatory (it's a rental property).

re the blue stars, Rolf (SkyViking) did a shot of M7 recently that killed me in the blue star department (nice photo though Rolf).
