Really pleased for you Mike.

Thanks Allan for your kind words

Oh I can't wait, the fact that a complete Sirius Observatory became available in Canberra's nearest suburb to us is a bloody miracle I have had an observatory before but not since mid 2006 ...it's been a hard slog at times since then

Cheers.

You will love it Simon, it does need dark skies to fully appreciate but a fast 10" Newt is a formidable instrument.
